Honestly, the push-back on getting a high-speed rail line between Seattle and SF (or, even better, LA) is baffling. It’s all right there, in a straight line; everything in all three states hugs the coast (or the Valley, in OR). Seattle and Portland even have halfway decent metro systems once you arrive, and SF’s isn’t totally awful. LA’s is useless, but still; rent a car.

Why can’t they get a high speed rail line done?
