    well the good news is that while you accounted for costs going down once projects are built, you also failed to consider the difference in capacity between railroad tracks and roads and also the maintenance costs that are gonna be much higher for roads.

    so even if it’s more expensive upfront which it really isn’t, it’s so much better long term

      Of course it’s more expensive up front. That’s trivially true when we have highways and not high speed rail.
