Article is deeply misleading, pretending that Brightline West has proceeded many times faster than CA HSR, when that is not at all true. While the particular operator and name are relatively recent, that project has been through many names and operators, each of which has built on the progress done by the previous one, and, despite being much simpler project than CA HSR, is also older than CA HSR, starting as Desert Xpress in 2005 (the ballot measure which set up the California High Speed Rail Authority and outlined the basic concept of the project was passed in 2008.)
