It was supposed to be viable here, all you'd really have to do is connect two densely populated zones (or even semi-sparse zones like suburbs to the main cities). The best place for this was California, but corruption, lawsuits, and good old fashioned "good enough for government" work killed it. They really should have just connected San Francisco and Sacramento or San Francisco and somewhere halfway to LA as the first stretch; not that retarded route they decided on in the Central Valley. That alone would have alleviated some of the problems of urban sprawl and high cost of living in the area. But no, we can't have that here. Did you know that we got offers from European and Japanese railways to help, but they got turned down because of laws requiring a certain percentage of American contracts? There was even a private funding plan from a French company.
I don't really give a shit anymore, let people be retarded. It's all going to burn down and I'm just going to spend my money preparing and enjoying my muscle cars. Either people get fed up and push hard enough to clear the corruption or we slowly decay further into a backwater where every project just serves to bloat some political donor's wallet.
