i feel proud to have voted for prop 1A yesterday in san diego. and as much as prop 8 pains me, i have faith the it ultimately won't go through since it requires serious constitutional rearranging which cannot be done without 2/3rds legislative approval. since the house and senate are democratic and even schwarzenegger doesn't approve of 8, i don't see it really going anywhere.
that said, 1A is on it's way! the planning has been done for ages now and they really ought to be able to start work on the SF-LA segment as soon as the bonds are sold. this one really excites me the most because with obama entering the white house at roughly the same time as construction, what looks like the beginnings of a paradigmatic change in thinking about transit and the environment might really take shape. not to mention that it paves the way for other examples like the quebec-windsor corridor.
