re: Interstate highways are racist but high speed rails aren't?

High speed rail on the other hand is exactly what this country needs to alleviate all the congestion on the interstates.

I travel interstates every day for work. There is no congestion outside of cities. High speed rail isn't going to eliminate the congestion within cities when the majority of traffic is from those cities' residents.

You also can't compare the US to other countries. No other country has the number of cars per capita as the US. High speed rail does not fit with our culture. If it did, it would have already been done. HSR is not new technology. It's simply not profitable here.
