Every solution y'all propose favors the Northeast. You insist on having Amtrak commuter service up there and then say we should add highspeed service to the West and Florida from the Northeast. That leaves out much of the country. Why should we pay into the plan when you are not going to provide us with commuter service and trips out West and to Florida? That is why it is a regional issue. Your region has the population density to make train travel realistic. I think passenger rail is great for the places where it makes (dollars and) sense. I seriously doubt you could build the rail network that would service the whole country for a reasonable price. Just have the riders pay the costs and everything works out the way it should. But remember, you need to pay the whole cost, operations and infrastructure. - Ed
