That's a good point. On the other hand, the future of the world probably includes sea level rise so New Orleans may not have much of a future.

  And I fully accept that point :) But as long as it exists, New Orleans means something to America.

    But why does "mean something" translate to "build non-ecomically viable HSR"?
    • Kon-Peki 4y ago
      Are we stipulating that it's less economically viable than a brand-new line somewhere else?
      • TylerE 4y ago
        Yes. It's an area with AT BEST stagnant growth, and likely contraction, versus areas like the Triangle in NC that are poorly served by rail and rapidly growing.
