I’ve watched Lucid Stew’s videos and other news about CAHSR for a few years now and it seems like over the past two years we went from “we’re finally on the right track“ to ”doom and gloom.” Stew’s videos are really good but I feel like I’m missing the forest for the trees. Can someone answer these questions for me:

1. What is definitely going to be completed?

2. What is probably not going to be completed?

3. Is this project fucked? Will LA and SF ever be connected by a single HSR train? (even if some segments aren’t 220mph)
