Here is an interesting take on California HSR.

TL;DR the physics is really hard and California might not be the best place for it.

Thanks for linking that read! I didn't walk away with that tldr. Mine was that airplanes are better because adding airports is way easier than adding train stations, and that HSR is hard (as in, not just a California thing).
