I often argue that European style policies will not work in America because of demographics and cultural differences. I can understand that not all readers are convinced that Americans are that different from Europeans. However, I hope every reader accepts that the U.S is geographically different from Europe and Asia. High-Speed train countries Spain and France have 3 times higher population density than America. China has 4 times higher, Germany 7 times higher, Japan 10 times higher, South Korea 15 times higher and Taiwan 20 times higher population density than the U.S. Germany is more densely populated than New York state, and China more densely populated than California. This argument has been made specious. If the planes are full between Chicago and St. Louis, so then will be HSR. Obama isn't pushing to connect Fargo with Rapid City.....he's pushing in corridors where highway and/or plane travel is heaviest. You all are reactionary........you haven't met a new idea that you could ever like. It goes with the territory but HSR is hardly new and we lag the rest of the world by decades. Time to catch up.
