I don't have much sympathy for the McMansions, but there are huge sections of Pacific Coast rail line threatened by coastal erosion, and it sure would be nice to get some nice high-speed rail along there.
Yeah, that's true. It's hopefully less costly to stabilize just the vulnerable parts of the surfliner than the entire west coast. I don't think it's possible to upgrade the speed on the surfliner much, given the geotechnical situation it's in, and I believe that this is also one of the main reasons CAHSR is being built inland.
But yeah, I have seen some really irresponsible houses on the california coast, like houses built on the outside of seawalls, actively crumbling away.
