In the Northeast there are at least a few right of ways which could be used to minimize impact and reduce land acquisition costs.And the Midwest is, if anything, even better in that respect. Not true at all. Land costs in California's Central Valley are extremely low when compared with those in the suburbs surrounding the cities. That segment would comprise the most critial high speed trunk portion of a California High Speed Rail system. Isn't there some mountain-range blocking off the Central Valley at one end? Presumably they're planning some massive tunnel or something. High speed rail is in general hurt by high density outside of the anchor cities. What's the point of doing 200mph past a bunch of homes that could have provided paying passengers? Bosnywash! |
