>>1410938>Jesus H Christ. You really have no idea how planning, permitting, or construction works, let alone operations.Actually im acutely aware of how it's literally all just a form of bribery. Each office in a city has to get their fucking BEAK wet. That's why if you are going to have to pay off a bunch of corrupt socialist cronies then you might as fucking well make it fucking maglev!
>People are already complaining about the costs of rail travelThen fucking build helipads bro or fucking quit your bitching. The only fucking reason mag levs would cost more is because of patents or some other dumb statist bullshit. If you are already running electrical wires to the tracks you might as fucking well make it fucking float bitch. The actual rails themselves don't have to be made of superconductors.. only the carriages themselves and we now have cheaper high temperature superconductors. It's worth the like 5-10 billion in R&D to make the best use out of th already super fucking expensive as shit building permits that rail would cost anyway!!!!!11
