That's my question.
> 2. Also, it appears that many states already get a lot more than they contribute. That subsidy probably isn’t going in the direction you think it is.
Sure, I'm not arguing that the distribution of federal money is 100% fair.
- melling 8y ago“Then there is the argument why should the rest of the country pay for something that will only be used in the coasts or densely populated areas?” This isn’t a real question. You’re making up a reason that you haven’t proven exists. There is no funded HSR outside of California.
- soheil 8y agoWhat part of it is not a "real" question? Are you saying there are assumptions in the question? Of course, the entire argument is hypothetical since currently there isn't a train system as described above in the US. The point of the comment was to seek predictive reasons in favor and against a hypothetical scenario. This has nothing to do with existing funding inside or outside CA. You seem confused.
