Good points but, by “innovation”, I don’t necessarily mean technology. I mean innovating on the way the state/region/country plans, builds, and operates long and short distance rail.

High-speed rail will not only connect these areas of housing and commerce but also will help produce them by reducing transportation issues. People will be able to commute by rail from affordable areas or live farther from urban centers without sacrificing access to urban amenities.

The decision to run the rail line through the Central Valley was deliberate. This is the area of the state with the least expensive land to develop, for housing & commerce. Just as the East Coast developed into a string of megacities linked by Amtrak, California is evolving into its own megalopolis.

Legislation for a state seed fund + investment tax credits to build a train manufacturing innovation center in California and perhaps in coordination with OR, WA, and NV would be a great initiative for @scottwiener.bsky.social and @governor.ca.gov to pursue.

And if politicians did genuinely want a new manufacturing base in the US with plenty of work and new skilled trades, transit expansion, especially HSR, would be a really good way to do that. Need to build a lot of train cars and maintain a lot of complex electric engines and track signaling systems.
