Biden rail system

[JSOP]

if this happens, which “new city pairs” are most likely to be connected? Will we live to see it? Japan has a great rail system, would be nice to have similar.

Most likely city pairs: New York - Chicago. New York - Los Angeles. San Francisco - Los Angeles.

“Invest in reliable passenger and freight rail service. The nation’s rail networks have the potential to offer safe, reliable, efficient, and climate-friendly alternatives for moving people and freight. However, unlike highways and transit, rail lacks a multi-year funding stream to address deferred maintenance, enhance existing corridors, and build new lines in high-potential locations. There are currently projects just waiting to be funded that will give millions more Americans reliable and fast inter-city train service. President Biden is calling on Congress to invest $80 billion to address Amtrak’s repair backlog; modernize the high traffic Northeast Corridor; improve existing corridors and connect new city pairs; and enhance grant and loan programs that support passenger and freight rail safety, efficiency, and electrification.”

I don't see the rail system to be happening tbh, might be a bit on the passenger side over existing train infrastructure but not developing new ones. Rail system has worked for other countries/continents like Japan, Europe and China because it's deep-rooted in their culture and existing infrastructure. America's culture is about doing its own thing away from everyone else and its infrastructure is the highway and airspace. People would have the freedom of driving their own car on the open road than be packed in a closed space. But if I am going to be packed in a closed space like sardines, then I want to get to my destination in 30 min. That's America to you.

Building a brand new rail system infrastructure is going to be decimating a whole lot of current existing highway system and its entire eco-system, the pit stops, all the restaurants, the motels, the gas stations, the stores, everything. Is America ready for that?

If Biden really wants to build new infrastructure, this is what I want to see:

If you could choose where to live in Florida (no schools or luxuries needed), where would you live?

Summerland Key, actually another key slash island close by, that I don't want the word getting out about it.
