Exactly. The USA should have high speed rail, but it isn't going to be one continuous network. We also shouldn't set the expectation for transcontinental high speed rail trips as the marker for success because that is going to lead to poor investment in HSR.

Yeah honestly northeast corridor is the way to do it and just explode the investment in the DC to New York space.

After that it can expand north and south to cover more of the East Coast. Hopefully west coast can do their own and then maybe express train connections to cities in the center to fill in over time
