Actually Hwy 17 crosses the San Andreas Fault fairly early past Los Gatos where the highway isn't too curvy. It crosses the San Andreas Fault basically right after it goes by the Lexington Reservoir right before it veers to its left (southbound). Nor would any tunneling be needed to straighten out the highway, just additional bridges and trestles.

With the reduced commute times, that's too likely to allow "those people" to live "here", and we have too many of "those kinds of people" here already. On the other hand, giant catapults would be useful for all sorts of things. -- Please note this e-mail address is a pit of spam due to e-mail address harvesters on Usenet.
