HSR from Memphis to New Orleans would be insane. Again, has nothing to do with size. Fresno makes no sense for HSR at any size. It doesn't have the ingredients for HSR patronage.
HSR from NYC to anywhere within a few hours makes sense, for obvious reasons. But NYC has to be on one end. I'm not even confident it would work with Boston or DC at one end, and those are very centralized, transit-oriented metros for U.S. standards. Still wouldn't be confident Boston-Portland or DC-Richmond or Philly-Pittsburgh would work, in isolation.
