I have a low cost solution, make highway 5 wider and add a high speed lane (90 mph) with limited access)

I know, amazing.

People who want to get to SoCal/NorCal faster can take an air plain.

I know, amazing.

But a low speed rail just sounds so much better.

You mean when we wake up to our foolishness? The American Dream dies? As well it should.
The original American Dream was based on equality and opportunity as in equal opportunity for freedom from oppression. The dream became convoluted over the last century to mean opportunity to climb over each other in an unsustainable toxic ball of avarice, greed, and the pursuit of cheap material acquisition at any expense to each other and the environment we rely on for both sustenance and pride of living.

Remember I am still in the 1800's......

Seriously though... The romantic notion of brave dreamers looking to what is beyond the horizon.. The creative mind not bound by fear of the unknown... something like that...

Except it is now: four cars in the garage (and one of them a Hummer with low-profile tires) of a McMansion on the coast, an athletic club membership (to compensate for the lack of physical living), a smartphone and tablet, laptop, a multi-million-dollar diversified portfolio, a ski-vacation condo in Colorado, a wall-sized flat-screen tee-bee, a $1/4 million houseboat on Berryessa, ..............................
