It's hard to get to some Sydney suburbs for the same reason. Though interestingly this includes rich areas like the Eastern Suburbs and Northern Beaches. I suspect fat-cat NIMBYs have been keeping the trains out for generations now.

I guess it's true that now you might need tunnels (especially for the eastern suburbs). But these lines could have been built many decades ago.
