This could be us but you playing
Poor South Dakota. Still has to rely on riding hogs for transportation.
I’d rather ride a hog than fly commercial
It's the biggest flaw of this map. As a Minnesotan, I never want to set foot in the desolate wasteland known as North Dakota. I'd much rather pass through SD
tbh this isn't nearly enough
In my fantasies, this is just the start of the federal network and doesn't include the several intrastate networks
Please Lord, don't let me turn into the contiguous 48 of the United States
I'm generally in favor of that except its timing is weird. Eugene to San Francisco should also be phase 1. It seems more interested in connecting a lot of places to somewhere first rather than making sure that when things connect they go where people want them to. It's very clear phase 1 is entirely focused on making every region get a piece, which I get, but at the same time, the draw of HSR is connecting regions.
Like, yeah Seattle-Portland would be nice, it would get used, but it's a 3 hour drive. The killer feature that gets the PNW on the high speed rail is going to California.
No coast to coast until phase 3, but phase 2 connects Denver to Albuquerque, Oklahoma City to Tulsa, and Toronto to Syracuse all disconnected to anything more significant at that time.
i look at this map every night before bed
