That's not actually true. Last estimates I saw said that the right of way was only costing a few (1-3 i think) billion of the total cost.

- melling 13y agoOne of Elon's criticisms was that the CA HSR would need to acquire 1100 parcels of land. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/could-the-hyperloop-really-cost-6-billion-critics-say-no/ http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/could-the-hyperloop... Can you post where you got your numbers?
- clarky07 13y agoI'd love to but after quite a bit of searching I can't find them. I did see that Musk quoted 1 bil for right of way on the hyperloop, so my numbers must be off some. I'm pretty sure it still isn't the majority of the cost by any stretch. perhaps 10 bil out of the 70 proposed. If i find the article I'll update this post.
