the oil industry paid good money to train Americans into obedient goyim who buy a brand new F-350 every other year

how many brown people live in the east coast? i've noticed that public transportation is awful with non-whites
before that it was just the transport itself that could be frustrating like broken AC or delays but that's not a big deal
but having loud violent stinky brown people makes it intolerable and i actively avoid it and just drive nowadays

>>212634659
enough that it would be awful

>>212634386 (OP)
Because the way federalism works here, there's no such thing as a federal infrastructure project. Even if the feds fully fund it, it is entirely up to the states to accept the money and build it. In 2009 the federal government offered states specifically in the Midwest to build a bunch of high speed lines but they rejected the funds so they all got re-directed to California who blew all of it because they can't manage a project for shit, and it's their responsibility as the state government to build and manage it.

It wouldn't work because the land with that level of population density would have been extremely expensive to acquire. The best time to make a transit is when you have a decent population density but the people still poor and you are already way past that.

>>212634386 (OP)
we already have it. its called amtrak you fucking retard

kid named Appalachians:

>>212634702
Also the thing with all these big high speed rail projects is that they fail to recognize the need for better transportation public transport at the local level. It can work in certain corridors, but not in huge area like OPs picture.
You take your high speed rail from Columbus to Louisville, now what? You’re still going to need a car to get anywhere.
Yea sure you can just rent a car, but at that point it might’ve just been easier and cheaper to drive yourself. Might be nice for a business trip, but is there enough demand for that to build this entire system?
I’d take boatloads of money, tons of land purchasing, and insane levels of coordination at the local, county, state, and federal level.
Similar to what this anon said >>212634819 this wouldn’t been much easier in the past, like in the 50s when we were building interstates. But now? I don’t know.

>>212634597
I would ride it thoughever.

>>212634386 (OP)
It wouldn't work because browns and blacks would ruin it. It worked in the past because the US was white.

>>212634597
I rode the AMTRAK a good couple times already in the past few years THO

It would 100% work but the airline industry + automobile industry are both too powerful. Anyone who says otherwise is either coping or a literal paid shill who can safely be told to fuck off.

>>212634386 (OP)
Rightoids will fight tooth and nail to defund it and then point out how it's dirty and shitty and only poor brown people ride it and that real men drive their F-150 everywhere o algo

Why are so many Europeans so smug and annoying

>>212635402
>but the airline industry + automobile industry are both too powerful
So? You guys had this shit figured out.

>>212634386 (OP)
God I wish there were just a HSR line running across cenral NY like that as someone trapped in this shithole. Being able to go to real places without terrible flights and the onboarding/offboarding process or 4+ hours of driving would be amazing.

>>212636285
i am surprised that NYC doesnt have a good high speed/higher speed regional rail service since its the only city in america where even rich people live in the inner city.

ALRIGHT ENOUGH

STAY IN ONE FUCKNG THREAD YOU ADHD HAVING RETARD. JESYS CHRIST YOU DONT NEED 9 TABS OPEN YOU FREAK

>>212636312
They don't want us upstate goyim to be able to visit without hours of driving then dealing with traffic and parking

>>212634386 (OP)
trains just can't handle the topography of the us (or new world countries in general for that matter).
it'd take some crazy logistical effort to lay the tracks he proposed, it just isn't feasible, specially when they basically already have the solution (and an industry based around that solution as well); just take the highway.

>>212634386 (OP)
Someone from notrainstugal talking shit is crazy lmao

>>212636466
This is complete bullshit because China and Japan have trains on way rougher topography, no one is saying to make trains on the rockies. You also know it's bullshit because the minimum baseline of California + Northeast corridor should be piss easy and profitable but still isn't done. It's entirely down to the US' political economy.

>>212636466
Now compare east coast USA to Japan's topography.

>>212636504
>>212636516
i'm not saying it isn't possible, just that it'd be very costly and there's no push for immediate action because the trucking industry covers the need for interstate goods/material transporting.

>>212634386 (OP)
We already have highspeed rail connecting the coastal cities from Boston to DC

What's the point of building a bunch of trains in the hinterland, so you could more easily vacation from Cleveland to Buffalo?

>>212636285
If you were to plant a station underground to be the landing point for anyone travelling to NYC via HSR, where would it be?

>>212636682
Don't see why there couldn't be one stop each at Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, then from Albany to NYC. It's just a flat straight line, would probably boast inter-upstate economic activity too.

japan is (mostly) japanese

2/10, the +2 is for her probably not recognizing Canada as a country.

>do the same but for trains?
>AIEEEEEEEEEE!!!

>>212636654
>I am now talking about shipping goods across states
yeah we're talking about people traveling around not shipping products

>>212634386 (OP)
because no one wants the people in those cities to be easily connected with them.

>>212637485
Pipelines aren't easy to build through multiple states.

>>212637831
China built a humongous train network in like 10 years, America just sucks.

>>212637875
The shitlib environmental review grift would take 20 years and hundreds of millions of dollars alone.

>>212637924
Reminds me of when they needed to raise the Bayonne bridge so modern container ships could go under it.
It was like a decade of environmental reviews and getting permission from Indian tribes in Oklahoma to raise an existing bridge connecting NY and NJ.

>>212637875
Cool, if it is so good then move there. That is one of the joys of the 21st century.

They are the most mediocre people of that god forsaken continent
New worlders went off and conquered vast expanses of land, entire subcontinents and endless respurces

While they are bitter peasants that remained farming cabagge in some bumfuck nowhere peasant town at occitania trying to make up for their historical mediocrity

>>212634386 (OP)
Why spend money on that when you could give it to israel?

>>212637875
>America just sucks.

There's no demand for it here. The average American would be embarrassed to ride a train

>>212638942
I guess that is a no then.

>>212634386 (OP)
trains are communism or something

>>212634386 (OP)
american cities are car centric
you will need a car anyways after you get out of the train

We already built interstates and we have some self driving trucks on the road already, it's like why double up

>watch american movie
>they take an airplane
>theyre still in america

lol

>>212634386 (OP)
American cities have zero public transport infrastructure, so outside new york youd just get stranded in the ass end of nowhere once you got off the train

Trains are comfy but I don't really get the point of having intercity trains

>>212634597
they will if you keep browns out

lol

Driving cars is part of american culture,
like drug addiction and gun crime.
