Speaking of which, there was a briefly-discussed proposal to bury the Caltrains/HSR tracks through Palo Alto, a distance of 2-3 miles, at a cost of several billion dollars. There are only 6 or 7 grade crossings in Palo Alto. About 150 homes back up to the Caltrains ROW and another 100 or so sit on the other side, although buffered by Alma St.
I don't think it makes much sense to bury the line in this area for purely aesthetic purposes unless there is a commitment to build new housing - and a lot of it - directly above the tunnel, and we sure as hell know that ain't happening!
