What many fail to understand is the US is geographically a heck of a lot larger area than a Japan or FRance. If this type of infrastructure had been started years ago, the obvious costs to build them would have been a lot cheaper then. The concentration of populations also makes it financially a risky scheme.
Also, are all those lib commie bloggers willing to waive any number of lawsuits that inevitably will prevent the construction of any route until it has been thoroughly contested due to environmental concerns over the effects on “sensitive” lands? I seriously doubt that.
Better they just move to Europe.. and save us all the melodrama and backstabbing.
That is an excellent point. In fact very few of them brought up this very important issue but they were quickly shut down by the other members.
That is certainly true (the geographic issue)
However incorporating mass transportation should not be a pipe dream and something we as conservatives should not shut the door on
If we are able to reduce the transportation costs for the average person, I see no reason why conservatives should be opposed to it
One solution is clustered regional high speed rail. The key thing is the technology is still not quite there to have 300 mph trains
If that was you simply need to build within regions (for example Richmond-Washington DC-Philadelphia-NYC with DC and NYC as major hubs), thusly letting airlines make longer, more profitable flights
