Which is huge shame since I really want to see the US develop high speed projects as seen in other parts of the world including here in Asia and in Europe rather than just keep talking about it and going absolutely nowhere literally.

Brightline is stalling for time because they have a good shot of getting billions from the Federal infrastructure bill.
When Trump was president they had to go it alone and were prepared to do so (those state bonds are a loan that needs to be paid back, after all). Now there's a chance Uncle Sam might kick in a few billion in free money, so why not wait?
