Re: Why the US has no High speed rail, one opinion

Your second paragraph can be interpreted as a statement about the government as a whole:
Sure, highways benefit cities too, people and goods have to get between them, but rail is something that works with density. Our governmental structure penalizes density.

I could just as easily say the Connecticut Compromise predicted highways?

In any case, my point was, the government has been actively encouraging the very sprawl that makes high speed rail (and arguably, passenger rail in general) difficult.
