You've never been on HSR, at least not in Europe or China. HSR stations are mostly new builds, and not in city centers.

You're claiming that some of the worst sprawl in America, with some of the lowest transit share in America "is already designed to be rail oriented". Bullshit. The IE is as rail oriented and urban as Oklahoma City or Amarillo.
The entire fate of HSR in America is reliant upon getting ridership in some of the most HSR-hostile geography in America, while the two CA cities with huge potential are decades away. They should have started at either end, and not in the middle.
