High-speed Rail money helped pay for this study?
Hmmm.
Vision California: Calthorpe Associates leads statewide effort
(June 2009)

Calthorpe Associates is leading Vision California, an unprecedented effort funded by the California High Speed Rail Authority to explore the critical role of land use and transportation investments in meeting the environmental and fiscal challenges facing the state over the coming decades. It will produce a series of alternative physical visions for how California can accommodate expected growth, and clearly express the consequences of these options. The results will inform decisions about the investments and policies that will drive the state’s growth.
How ironic.
The only thing that is growing in the state of California is the population.
On the other hand, the economy and the revenue producers are shrinking.
How will these contrasting trends affect "the investments and policies that will drive the state’s growth"?
