Why don't we have this yet?

So an update on the Public Transit campaign. We had an aspiring filmmaker named Marietta come in to talk about CA HSR and the documentary she's making on it to educate the public. (Especially for the upcoming November ballot measure: 10 billion dollars in bonds to break ground on the first leg of the project from LA to San Francisco.)

She showed us this 10 minute video made by the California High Speed Rail Authority (seen below)



Then she stuck around to take questions and ask for suggestions on how to proceed. We told her about the Spring Break road trip down the route. I'm excited to see what she comes out with. She's aiming for a late-March release online, or maybe a persistent episodic deal (suggested by moi).

Commuting and traffic make me all the more angrier now, knowing the potential alternative.
