A spur to Reno would be nice as well. Nevada should then connect Reno and Vegas with a high speed line. A cheap two hour commute between the two cities for less than Southwest. Also, many Californians could live in Reno or Vegas and work in S.F, Sacto or LA.
you know, i vacation in california periodically. how about a spur to central, ohio just for me? if we are going to do this job, we might as well do it right and spend liberally on it.
