California High-Speed Rail
I guess this topic's in the news again these days. Curious what everyone thinks about it.

This last trip to my Dad's (from which I have just returned), I actually looked into rail options. The biggest problem is, there really isn't a way to take a train directly from LA to San Francisco. All the routes involve switching to buses, and sometimes if you're lucky, back to trains. It's no freaking wonder nobody takes a train in this state. How stupid is it that we don't have a direct route to SF?

What I really don't get is why they're building the first segment of the new high-speed train in the least useful spot (Fresno to Bakersfield).
