I used to be involved with some rural development boards for the area I live in. Basically floating ideas to try and get communities to work together on. Every year I would submit a recommendation for high speed rail from STL to Nashville. That would open up that corridor and jobs for about 600,000 people in SEMo, southern Illinois, northwest Tennessee and western Kentucky. Very rural areas where average income is under $35,000 a year. The idea never went anywhere, but it would drive me crazy whenever they would release plans that were spending millions of tax dollars on decorative lighting or planting flowers or putting up new road signs.
