One way to overcome politics is to make something sound so cool that the public is generally on board with it.

- dave5104 6y agoI have little faith in something being cool preventing people from being up in arms about infrastructure builds in their backyard.

- handmodel 6y agoI feel like this doesn't quite work. The vast majority of people may be for trains but there are so many points of local veto. If a train/hyperloop needs to cut through a neighborhood in order to avoid taking a 5 mile detour the 20 people effected are going to use everything in their power to stop it - who can blame them. Even road expansion is slow and costly and hard to navigate.
