Yeah, having high speed rails between hubs could help with urban sprawl and housing affordability, job deserts… (if that project actually gets delivered)
Plenty of people would want that. So many.
But it’s the ‘wholesome’ foot in the door for some very nasty stuff. “See, we’re the ones that care about your housing and your jobs! Now look at who is taking them away from you!”

I sure hope he publicly falls on his trumpet. But yeah. Nobody is immune to going down a pipeline.
“Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood”
