San Francisco ChronicleVerified account @sfchronicleGov.

I am confused. What is going on?https://twitter.com/gavinnewsom/status/1095445893648506880?s=21 …

Gavin NewsomVerified account @GavinNewsomFor those who want to walk away: Abandoning high speed rail means we will have wasted billions of dollars with nothing but broken promises and lawsuits to show for it. I'm not interested in sending $3.5B in federal funding--exclusively allocated for HSR--back to the White House.Show this thread9 replies 1 retweet 15 likesShow this thread -
Well, whatever is going on,
@jerrybrowngov was fatalist about housing on the California Coast but optimistic about HSR (also opening up a state housing solution in the Central Valley) and@gavinnewsom seems fatalist about HSR to the major cities and optimistic about housing.5 replies 0 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -

Connecting the Central Valley to what? Itself? Why not explicitly mention SF or LA? Still confused.https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1095867826202505216 …
Kim-Mai Cutler added,
Gavin NewsomVerified account @GavinNewsomFake news. We’re building high-speed rail, connecting the Central Valley and beyond. This is CA’s money, allocated by Congress for this project. We’re not giving it back. The train is leaving the station — better get on board!

Replying to @kimmaicutler
Why all the pandering to Central Valley when it's actually the metro coastal regions lifting California up and forward?

if you read the business plan, it's actually basically a plan to unlock the land of Central Valley for residential development/housing. Workers commuting from Merced to jobs in San Jose.

Understood but how realistic is that, financially? Also, then why not start building from San Jose to Merced first?

Replying to @accidentalflyer @kimmaicutler
My guess is that going through the mountains is going to be expensive, but connecting Gilroy (and beyond) to Caltrain would be huge for clearing up the 101 traffic nightmare.
