I can accept that the design costs are reasonable. But isn’t it weird to do this expensive and detailed design all up front?
It just seems that if we want to build this, there has to be a way to get it built in 5-10 years. Rather than 10-never years which the current approach results in.
How do places around the world build so much so fast? I know there are legal/individual rights issues that we shouldn’t copy, but that can’t be the only difference. They’re not spending 5 years doing studies and their trains still seem pretty safe.
