It would cost at least $6 billion to move it, and that would be to a much more inconvenient site. For about $8 billion you can put true (220 mph) HSR through to Phoenix. 2 1/2 hrs by rail, with stops. That takes about 30 737s out of the pattern every day. Between that and the California HSR initiative, you could end almost all short-haul air traffic out of Lindbergh, except for Las Vegas to San Diego. It would almost be pleasant to fly again.
