Victorville to Palmdale?

The trip from Victorville to Palmdale may get a whole lot easier if the High Desert Corridor Joint Powers Authority has its way. See the PE for how the authority needs only $2,000,000,000 to get a road built between the two cities. The thought is that it would take some pressure off the 210, 10, and 60 freeways. Interestingly, the article does not mention the other hurdle, state and federal regulations plus likely substantial eminent domain. If you're a glass half full type, perhaps you might want to run out and by some land on and around Pearblossum highway. Maybe in 20 years it might be worth something.
