    It would be most feasible to have like three high speed rails in the US. Up and down both coasts, and then east coast to west coast through the midwest, Denver, SLC etc.

    That alone would be enough to replace a ton of car and plane trips, even if it didn’t provide service everywhere

      We can’t even build a single HSR line anywhere in the US

      We’re a long ways away from being able to even think about trans-continental HSR

      We simply do not have the competence to do it
