No. It says they are not the default in shale, retrofit or active fault zones. FYI, Japan uses underground right of way too.
The fatal assumption was that open land would mean easy construction. The minimizing of environmental impacts (wetlands, etc.) buried the plan.

Did I not say the HSRAhas already published seceral project status reports?

Again, we are not Japan. CA has long way to bedrock. The assumptions that follow showed false in the cost overruns.
Engineering above grade right of way has been demonstrated to cost more repeatedly. Not just in intitial spend, but operational impacts

If not more. You're trying to separate station from service segment. If stations carry the apportioned seismic, access and safety costs of its segment the same as subways, the cost is comparable if not worse.
CA HSRA has already fully documented it.

Obviously you have not followed the actual cost overruns or you'd know. I can cite HSRA and Metro project status reports - can you?

Above ground stations have the same costs. This is not the great plains. We have terrain issues

Infill stops in a low density, less than ideal rugged terrain makes zero sense. In dense areas, surface stations closer than 1 mile reduce travel speed.
The need is a high speed route INTO the Valley, not just a transit option.
The issues of K line & coastal interconnect still exist too.

There's no point, elevated or underground, construction requires bedrock footings. It's why the D line extension took so long and HSR is so over budget (along with delays and increased land acquisition costs.

This whole debacle is a shining example why a statute limiting public service to the mandatory retirement age for pilots/air traffic controllers makes absolute sense.

No PERSON owes any platform their presence. To combat organized evil, you must hit them where they hurt: funds.
1. Stop patronage.
2. Report behavior to authorities for enforcement and fines.
3. Band together with others who have been harmed to obtain counsel and pursue legal remedies.

Nope. They refuse to invest in new tech & like their energy subsidized tax breaks.
If we stopped investment tax credits for oil & coal, renewable energy could have a fighting chance.
I like South Korea's fusion energy: uses old aluminum, produces clean air & potable water as byproducts.

The Compendium of Library Cataloging Resources would work too. You'd be swearing on the master index of all the known publications, serials and periodicals in the world.
I would go with the OCLC or CARL cataloging reference myself.

I left Apple after a 6 month sojourn. Did a year in Samsung. When HMD/Nokia brings a 5G flip phone, I'm off this Pixel, unless I get desperate and do a Razr with a Click keyboard.
