the rich NIMBYs in Palo Alto will never let the CA high speed rail go through their multi-million dollar neighborhoods Such irony. The peninsula has the country's highest concentration of uber-rich liberal elites yet can't find a way to route their train through their neighborhoods.

They already have normal speed trains running thru town. CEQA Lawsuit Fails to Slow High-Speed Rail By Alan Murphy on August 8, 2014 Posted in CEQA, Public Agencies Several parties, including the San Francisco Peninsula communities of Atherton, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto, challenged the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s decision on where to route trains travelling between the Central Valley and the Bay Area. ... ...The court upheld the program EIR the Authority relied on in deciding to approve a high-speed rail route through the Pacheco Pass and several Peninsula communities, rather than a northern route through the Altamont Pass... ...In sum, the California High-Speed Rail Authority was unable to convince the court that this part of the high-speed rail program was exempt from CEQA review, but it won the court’s approval for a program EIR covering a portion of the train’s route. californialandusedevelopmentlaw.com
