I have no problem with high speed trains so long as not one damn dime of taxpayer money is spent on it and land owners are compensated fairly plus a little extra money on top for them.
Me neither but that is not what is happening.. If they want Hi speed Rail go from coast to coast and up and down the east coast and west coast.. Private industry should do this not government.. Make it elevated so it only has a small foot print.. Except where stations are.
Speed trains would make it easier for the poor, inner city liberals, protesters & illegals
to move around or away from where they’re stuck at.
Which is why they have to be blocked.
The drag of the train system cost on their national economy allowed South Korea to catch up economically. They overbuilt in a way.
I mostly rode slower trains because most of my travel was between Gotenba and either Yokosuka, Numazu, or Tokyo.
