because high speed trains are for the poors. the rich fly, if anything we should stop forcing airlines to have economy seats. everyone already knows its the business class and first class seats that do the real heavy lifting. fuck the poors.

Having high speed trains is communist because it's what China does. Real MAGA patriots support crumbling, slow, inefficient subways where you can get stabbed to death by niggers easily. MIGA!

There are many things wrong with America but high speed rail is actually not as worth it as people think and it will be hard for Asian countries to maintain them in the future with population decline. Unless you want more jeets, that is.

Population density and vast distances. We don't need them.

I am a firm believer in North America we need safety back, and reliable Vehicles and Road Trips.

I believe sustaining freedom here, not just lawfuly but psychologically snd creating once again a strong population... having access to a personal vehicle and ownership (pride in something to care for and investment) is Key.

Cresting a North American Useful Person is a layered thing. And this was a key component of it among other things.

Vehicle ownership and cheap access is just again, one aspect.

Also add-
imagine the cost to cover the distances. Here's US vs SK.
Plus our geography is brutal- mountain ranges, deserts with flash floods, enormous canyons, rivers everywhere, extreme seasonal temperature fluctuations, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, snowstorms. And wildlife- to avoid hitting buffalo or elk herds in parts of the country we'd have to put up 1000s of miles of fencing, and countless wildlife barriers and passes.

You are Retarded.

We can Fix everything, and pair it with public transportation as well. But we must be understanding of many things in depth, the enemy sure is and knows how to strip it off bit by bit. You probably never grasped much of how and why.

For example, in Asia they do kore bikes... Russia is more family car thing, but teens no. Culture, works for them.

Here, it's Family carz and Your car, even more freedom but it has to align with natural safety, security snd other layers like not moving ten times and having a home... people you know like neighbors... to create that optimal extra freedom profile with a grounded enough community investment, you know to care. So when ccp knocks the will care enough, because the layer is optimal and lifelong.

Every place has it's requirements snd what fits, works, is useful for the individual and community not just always convenient only.

It's more complex than that in thousand folds... id take me a year to write it snd you'd grt lost in this alone probably.

Bottom line is, personal vehicle access here without rent this forever is Important. In more than one way.

how are the people who don't live in the city supposed to get on the trains? instead of being able to drive to the airport which is usually somewhere outside the city, you have to drive into the city where there's no parking, or else drive to a smaller train station outside the city and then take a slower train just to get to the high speed station.

Imagine building a conveyor belt that brings bears, wolves, and blood sucking ticks to your front door. Oh wait, that's local transit.

For high speed rail we don't really have the population density outside of the northeast and SOCAL corrider. I am from Chicago. Where would I use high speed rail to go to? Milwaukee? Detroit? I can just drive. If it's further I can fly. Also we had just got done building out our interstate system when high speed rail took off and politically it would have been weird to build another duplicative system.

>>
>>541874238
Short answer, the big 3. The auto industry actively lobbied against mass transit of all kinds.

More recently, the airline industry for similar reasons.

>>541874926
I agree to an extent. The freedom to hop in a personal vehicle is amazing and should never be taken from us. That said, high speed rails offer an alternative to increasingly expensive and environmentally damaging (if you care about that) airline industry. The vast majority of travelers are people traveling for work. If high speed rails can transport people in about the same amount of time or slightly more than it takes to arrive early at an airport and catch a plane, I see no negatives to society. It’s insane that there are people that commute to work on 45 min regional flights. Mass rail transit has its place and it does not have to be an all or nothing dynamic where all personal transit is replaced by mass transit.

Why does South Korea have high speed rail when it’s a super small country compared to Japan, Italy or France.
>>
>>541875819
85 miles almost the whole way to the destination no waking required or dealing with crowds of soulless bug people also having a vehicle with a cooler seats for your family space for groceries is pretty important
>>
>>541875403
There are a number of megaregions like the Texas Triangle or I-85 corridor that could benefit from it. The problem is that boomers start to see dollar signs and start the "I know what I got" routine when there's any hint of land purchases, and you have to pay a bunch of de facto bribes with endless feasibility and impact studies. And then you want good transit at the destination like Osaka to Tokyo. Fuck taking a train to have to rent a car or take a taxi to get anywhere at the destination for any kind of work commute.

hey dumbass, the train takes 3 days to go 2000 miles. the plane can get there in 3 hours. whether or not you have to get there an hour early to go through the performative terrorist screening doesn't matter.

If you're talking about taking a train for a 200 mile journey, then that's stupid. just take a car or a bus. The train is an outmoded method of transportation that has been superseded by the car at short range and the plane at long range. It only makes sense if you have to move a million gooks every day or your shitty euro roads can't handle large volumes of cars because they were build 300 years ago.

The biggest benefit of train travel is being dropped of in the middle of a city and walking/ taking a bus to your destination, most american cities outside the northeast have poor public transport and a downtown that consists of mostly parking lots, it just make more sense to drive to these places or fly and rent a car.

they have poor public transit because people have cars, people didn't buy cars because public transit was poor. cities HAD public transit, it was all ripped up and destroyed in the 50s after lobbying by car companies
you're literally reversing cause and effect, and assuming the effect is just an unavoidable inevitable thing

>>
Some of the cucked shit in the East coast is that the tracks aren't owned by the commuter train companies so the freight gets right of way. That slows passenger trains down and since the tracks aren't owned by them either they can't be upgraded for high speed rail. It's gay as fuck.
