A big share of the US population lives along feasible HSR corridors. The reason that this HSR doesn’t exist isn’t because there is no potential for it, but because the country is underdeveloped and honestly struggles to stay afloat infrastructure wise.
It’s normal that people don’t look beyond their tiny horizon. If I was king of the world I would order everyone to live in town and later on the countryside. And in at least 20 different countries of the world during their lifetime. I believe that would completely change how people see each other. Best people generally speaking are those who travel a lot (cultural travel, NOT business).

You use ELR in lower population areas
Look at Russia & China, they’re just as spread out, more so, yet they have an excellent rail network that covers the whole country
