The station cost will probably be high; it will be hard to have "side tracks". (No fan-out, you could say.)
So if there is a station in e.g. NY/LA, the housing costs for the other end station(s) ought to rapidly close with the big-city end station. It is just a way of opening a larger area for commuting.
So, there won't be that much comforts of New England.
My point was that with a HL the areas with high people pressure could continue to grow (I selected Silicon Valley because HN is a California-centric place, for good and bad. I'm in Europe.)
- el_zorro 13y agoTrue. It will probably be relatively expensive, at least at first. Still, if it's moderately priced (<$100) I would be much more willing to take long-distance trips down the coast. As it is, I rarely go to NYC or Philadelphia because of the time and/or cost. Maybe not commute, but certainly visit with some regularity.
