And airports. The Houston-San Antonio-Dallas triangle is a major airline cash cow and a few Texas linked airlines are making a fortune on it. I think Southwest and possibly American are big players in the TX government and don't want any competition.
That's why no high speed transit projects will be going ahead in Texas. Florida, screwed up as it is, is probably the best bet. Or maybe Chicago-St. Louis/Minneapolis/Indianapolis.
