The comparison is LA/SF. It would also be cheaper for the Hyperloop to go to Death Valley, and would serve any nearby residents of Death Valley well.

I'm guessing you don't live in california, do you?

edit: Oh, I think you're sort of a mentor figure to one of my friends from kindergarten (and a board member of my startup nonprofit...) HN isn't really the best venue for a nuanced discussion, if you'd like to talk about the problems with CHSR and why comparing Hyperloop to CHSR official figures is charitable to CHSR - feel free to contact me personally!

Wait, what? I'm on a board?
no, my friend is on the board, I believe he used to work for you.
