It will never happen in my opinion. America’s is completely controlled by oil, and Texas is the heart of the American oil industry. Having a bullet train would undermine their profit margins.
Then there are NIMBYs who would tie up projects on a city level.
It seems like the current Texas government is more concerned about identity politics than actual progress.
