So much progress, but the amount that still needs to happen above ground is starting to make me worry that it'll be more than a year before it's ready to open

Thanks for all the photo updates roundabout!

Good write up from Reece about Pierre Poliviere coming out against the HSR. It seems like pretty terrible political instincts to say "we don't want to do this because we think it'll be too hard". Also, some of the arguments used against it will bite him if he gains power and then tries to build...
