They have entire cities with empty houses if I remember correctly, and the ultra high speed rail is immensely inefficient as air resistance is raising in square proportionally to speed
I think building houses that will never be used as similar bad as to less housing…

Do you have a source for the housing thing?
In terms of the rail having air resistance that feels a bit of a Fox News point. It’s not perfect so why bother with anything but loads of big cars?
The sheer amount of rail rolled out in the last 10 years dwarfs anything any other country is doing.
