    You have enough taxpayers to build 26 lane highways in California, but you’re telling me you don’t have enough money to build a 2 lane HSR?

      Sorry, I’m not American. Looking at it from the outside. There are a lot of things America can do better.

      But from a purely math perspective, it’s a good metric to explain why Japan has what it has.
