You would know how ridiculous this statement is if you had any idea of the actual circumstances around commuting to DC.Ok but there is already a perfectly fine rail line between Baltimore and DC. I've used it many times.
I'm not saying we can't. But at the current state of US debt and other factors. Your going to have a hard time pitching the cost.
It still blows my mind that the US has no proper highspeed railway. Like the TGV in France, ICE in Germany or the Shinkansen in Japan. One from Boston to Florida. One from Florida to LA and up to Seattle. From Seattle back to Boston.
The problem is the size of the country. Japan could fit in just California. We don't get a lot of stuff because of the pure landmass size of the country.
What's the excuse for not implementing this at local levels? Example: Los Anglees <-> Las Vegas, Los Angeles <-> San Diego, Tallahassee <-> Orlando <-> Miami, or Dallas <-> Houston?

You and Adventure Mike live right by me. I live in Derwood right off Muncaster Mill Rd.Hahaha metro buddies from GAF, yeah my daily commute is drive from rockville to grosvenor station, park there ride metro to faragut north.
12.50 a day before gas, but way cheaper than finding parking in DC and less stressful than driving through georgetown / friendship heights into K street.
Shady Grove does sound a bit further out compared to Grosvenor but that still sounds way convenient if you're spending less on housing, very nice. I like the Gaithersburg area especially the RIO cinema area for just getting a drink on a friday with some friends in a relax environment.

Expect this to be blocked by stupid politicians in Washington because fuck Obama.
....Why would President Obama have any reason to oppose this?
How much do you think freeways cost?8 billion dollars for a train to go 40 miles. Thats a lot.
I think he means people will shoot it down due to irrational hatred of our President, which has been the status quo on most rail projects proposed so far.
