The Visual Display of Quantitative Information about California's High-Speed Rail Project


This is so good, that it must be seen by every Californian, and every American.  It is the most clear evidence, or visualization of evidence, that HSR in California is doomed to be a disaster if this project is pursued any further.  


Those of you who are students of this sort of thing, can relate it to the work of Edward Tufte <http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/ > who has written definitive studies of how the empirical quantification of evidence can and should be converted into graphic representation.


As they should, these graphs speak for themselves.


Thank you, Joseph Jones for a spectacular job.
