And the US could still build such a thing, except for all
the wasteful projects such as the "bullet train," for
example:

It would save a few hours over driving on a trip from LA to
SF but won't go from San Diego to Phoenix. If you're in THAT
much of a hurry, you can fly, at a cost to the environment,
but not your conscience, if you are a hypocritical greenie.



Travelling by high speed train is a much more pleasant
experience than flying or driving.

Pity the US isn't capable of building any high speed trains,
only dumping billions into welfare projects for unions that
will never be completed, and nobody will ride if they are.

The US is technologically capable of building fast trains, but
the economics don't work.

The politics are the bigger problem. Nobody in California wants any
kind of mass transit, but the unions want to get paid to build it.
