Just read a brief article about high speed trains, and Republican statements that implementation'll cost way more than projected. I believe them. Projects always cost 30-50% more than stated, and not rarely even 100% more. But I don't believe that's a reason not to do it. At least, not a definitive reason.
My brief experience with high speed rail, in France, made me think it's worthwhile. Expensive to ride, yes. But convenient as all get out? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

It's also a proven facilitator of economic growth. Look at China for proof! And the US, when railways were the high speed travel of their day.
The GOP has become the party of "No".
