Why are American HSR advocates so obsessed with Chicago?
why don't you just post the youtube video you're referring to so I can report it as spam, thanks
>>2031657It's the perfect location for a HSR hub
>>2031657because it's the only centrally located part of the US that has any worthwhile population density?
Good density, good population size, near other population centers. Also not as expensive as NYC or SF.
It’s a geographic lynchpin and the ROW is already there.
>>2031657its a major city that isn't on a coast and isn't blocked by the rocky mountains. no one in their right mind would ever want to go to chicago under any circumstances and right now by train it takes like a week from nyc to chicago. the train fags think if we put hsr between nyc and chicago you can link every major mid west city to the east coast corridor and that would justify building the rail, even though again, who the fuck wants to go to chicago?
>>2031658This
>>2031657It was the lynchpin of the rail system in the pre-plane era, and it wants that status back.
