Cancel HSR says Contra Costa Times

Having concluded that the authority abused its discretion, Kenny will next decide what to do about it. The answer: Apply the brakes. Contra Costa Times

This conclusion is based partly on the recent judicial ruling that the HSR has violated is founding law. But notice where the opposition comes from, the SF bay area newspapers. But the bay area was supposed to be the major destination of the HSR, it was proposed for quick transportation between LA and SF. LA was the first to opt out, then the bay area, both the terminal points of the whole project. Ask folks in the bay area why and they will tell you that airplane rides are cheaper and faster.
