Who are you lying to? This is just sad. Egypt will have a HSR before you do, but at least people in the US can console themselves that their government is sending billions to “defend freedom and democracy”.
That's fine, the rate of development is rapid given the geographic, political, and private property questions involved. It's a unique process, but one that I fully support and am happy to see quickly roll out!
Do you understand what it takes to make an Engineering project tick? Also theses plenty of more red tape around the US rollout of HSR than the alternatives you presented.
People in the US assume the rest of the world is a lawless hell hole when many countries including China have stronger protections against eminent domain.
The real reason you haven’t gotten HSR isn’t technical, is political. Israel has first-dips on the US budget. Reminds me of something someone I knew used to say: “the American will sell his kids before cutting aid to Israel”.

Do you know that it has been “coming soon” since 2008?
I understand you have nothing left but optimism, but come on be realistic.

Yes, central planning and budgeting.

I mean I brought up the political aspect. The auto manufacturers and oil lobby have their own input in democratic discourse.
