I think relatively speaking the US is not densely inhabited. So sure in densely packed places there is not much space (by definition) but then almost nowhere in the US is densely packed. E.g. between LA and SF it’s 99% farmland, between LA and Vegas it’s mostly farm or desert.
What the US needs is political will and I think the political will in the US has been eroded (by bribes) by the petrol, car and flying lobbies.
- TheCoelacanth 5y agoDC to Boston is basically one continuous urban area, yet we still don't have high speed rail on that route.
- reillyse 5y agoRight, we are in agreement. I think there should be rail in urban areas, but I was specifically refuting the idea that there was no room for rail.
