Why doesn't the Northeast have high speed rails like Japan, China, and Europe?

Because our infrastructure is traditionally shit and we don't care about public goods or urban planning
Colton Cruz
In Mexico we have the money and the power for have better than the pic. But the corruption have the control here
Jayden Ward
Because trains are gay lol

Do you even know where the Northeast is?

because no one wants to sit with a bunch of people they don't know, europoors have to do it because they have 100 million people in a land mass the size of texas
Brody Rivera
Because shitty cornfield states populated with ignorant rednecks won't let us spend our own money on our own infrastructure

Not enough population concentration and no demand for it (everyone has cars).
Jackson Cruz
All of the dark areas are rural and have been majority since the 19th century or earlier
Levi Williams
The Northeast is denser than Spain
Owen Torres
This is closest to correct. The northeast has trains and there has been continuing discussion of high speed trains, but the ability for them to support themselves is doubtful. Beyond that, making high speed trains between say Boston and NYC demands three state governments work together which won't happen. Connecticut is blocking current expansion plans for existing railroads because they will just go through the state without benefiting it. Why should the people of Connecticut pay for a high speed train between Massachusetts and new York?
Caleb Watson
Because the only interesting things to do in Connecticut are all located in Massachusetts and New York

You shouldnt compare with us in high speed rail coverage tbqh, our government went CRAZY with it. I believe that we have the second longest high speed rail network in the world, just behind China and ahead of Japan and France

Railways were an important part of the 19th century USA and at that time our railway corporations were not only profitable, but were among the best in the world.
Then the early 20th came along, some ruthless guy named Rockefeller started a company called Standard Oil...and everything went to shit.
Its actually amazing how much one man cucked the USA, and in some ways the entire world. He's not Rothschild tier, but he's pretty close.
Anyway, the USA doesn't want to use less oil, because guys like Rockefeller wanted to use the most oil possible. He not only helped kill/restrain our railways, but he also battled Henry Ford over making sure automobiles ran on oil instead of corn grain alcohol (which would have made more sense in every way)
All this shit we have now. The Global oil market, Saudi Arabia controlling the petrol dollar, etc etc. It can all be traced back to Standard Oil (Rockefeller)
E85 burns cleaner, is renewable, and the USA grows the most corn in the world.
It might also help prop farmers up so we dont have to use unhealthy corn syrup in food.
But no, we couldn't have that completely logical timeline. Because greedy men didn't want it.
So we prop up the Middle East while our own infrastructure remains stuck in the past, and we have to prop the corn farmers up somehow so we use corn syrup in all of our food which is making us hilariously fat monstrosities.

>In the early 1900s, General Motors' long-time president, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., began implementing a plan to expand auto sales and maximize profits by eliminating streetcars.
>In 1922, Sloan established a special unit within GM that was charged with, among other things, the task of replacing the United States' electric railways with cars, trucks, and buses. Consumers who no longer had the option of taking the streetcar turned first to the bus lines and, eventually, to owning and driving their own automobiles.
no public transport because car companies bribed government officials in the 40s and 50s to plan cities without public transport oriented towards cars ie us suburbia
public transport was sabotaged to steer the flock towards car/oil

So how long would it take to take a train from San Sebastian to Malaga?
Julian Evans
Even for a guy like me that was harsh.
Is it possible for a future bridge or tunnel/bridge combo between the north and south island?
Christian Brown
According to google, you should take a 3h 30m bus to Zaragoza first then take there a 1h 27min AVE (spanish high speed train) to madrid and finally a 2h 50min train AVE to malaga .
As of now our rail has a radial design around Madrid, that means that Big Cities are usually well connected to our capital but it will be recomendable to get a plane ticket for some travels.
