			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot off the presses!  Obama has announced a vision for high-speed rail corridors nationwide.</p>
<p><img src="http://blinktag.com/images/7d277cdc40128716c93019fa77460a0a.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>I also think it&#8217;s cool that this was posted on the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/09/04/16/A-Vision-for-High-Speed-Rail/">White House&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad that the administration is paying some attention to transportation, but I&#8217;m actually a little skeptical of the whole idea.  I don&#8217;t know much about the proposed <a href="http://img.skitch.com/20090417-qdkhgb4thm211kkwty3wmj5fkg.jpg" rel="lightbox[399]">link through Oklahoma</a>, but I know the California idea has been knocking around for awhile now and people aren&#8217;t buying, especially since it&#8217;s going to link to a bunch of crap towns in the Central Valley, preventing it from being a true high-speed network (notice the image only has stops in SF, Sacramento, LA, and San Diego, and connects them all in a big loop).  Florida&#8217;s plan <a href="http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-79562203.html">has been controversial too</a>, and I&#8217;m not surprised given the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_G._Fisher">shady history of real estate speculation linked to transportation improvements</a> that seem to dominate that state&#8217;s history.  I&#8217;ll believe it when I see it.</p>
