High Speed Railways

Today I heard of a plan to put new high speed railways all over the country. I think this is not a good idea. In our country too many people have cars and wont abandon them to ride a crowded public train. I also think that the system will take them a long time to build. Unless they are just going to pull up the old rails and put ones that can accomdate the high speed trains in they will have to aquire new real estate. This could take decades. I think it is a waste of money time and effort. The only good thing that will come from it is the new jobs it will create.
