In the real world, its just cheaper to fly to San Francisco from Los Angeles. A high speed rail line to SF makes no financial sense whatsoever.

San Diego is looking for a location for a new airport. Because of the NIMBYs the number one spot considered is Boulevard, 60 miles east in the desert. To make that location more acceptable they peoposed high speed rail to get people to and from that far-off location. The idea was not well received by the enviro-wackos and that was only for 60 miles. They’d never approve 800.
