    People are claiming this will never happen, but I think it will. It won't be available to most people, but I think the rich are pretty interested in a more efficient way of transporting their child sex slaves around to their ceremonies sacraficing the children to Moloch.

      This will be one of those projects that gets $10B to begin construction, creates an additional $20B in damage to the surrounding community, is suspended indefinitely and then turns into a "This is what happens when you do a Communism!" data point for conservatives into the subsequent decade.

      It's not more efficient but it does keep them away from the peasants.

        not even two hundred years from now there will be conspiracy theories that there are tunnels on Mars with slaves and magical tech, for some reason... if there's anyone on earth in that alt future.

      I think that there will be some place in the US ass backwards enough to fund a stretch of it, and it will be one of those things that tech historians will go back and marvel at in 50 years.

        It will end up like the Seattle monorail but more useless.

      Yeah, people have already built loads of extremely expensive, extremely low-capacity, "high tech" transportation systems, and many of them started off as an absurdly unrealistic artist's impression before being gradually revised until they were basically a pretty standard monorail or cable car or busway or something.

      If he perseveres with this long enough, I'm sure he'll eventually build something. It will probably end up just being a subway with weird angles and metallic paint everywhere.
