Why do governments invest in transportation infrastructure?
The answer is economic development. The profitability of high-speed rail does not exist in a vacuum. And, clearly, California realizes that Smart Growth in the Central Valley and in the Inland Empire is in the economic interests of the State.
High-speed rail, like airports, has a tremendous impact on the patterns of development.
