Maybe it “could”, but it won’t. The US has completely lost the ability to build large-scale infrastructure.

- unglaublich 3y agoThe whole western world is now locked up in people protecting the value of their properties and real estate. Do _anything_ of significance, and you will get hordes of people that demand that YOU pay for a hypothetical 5% decrease in delusional fictional real estate value. Progress is grinding to a halt. We're economies broken by people who will not allow to take one step back to allow two steps forward.
- cinntaile 3y ago> We're economies broken by people who will not allow to take one step back to allow two steps forward. The core issue is that the people that are negatively impacted by the construction are not the same people that stand to benefit from the construction. They would take one step back in the short run without going two steps forward in the future. It's a promising route for high speed rail, so I wish them good luck. It's quite cheap to fly betweens these two cities though.
