How the hell did Florida manage to get this right?

I wouldn't call this "getting it right"; Brightline (for-profit) was built to funnel money to private equity by serving the well-off, not to serve the general population. Additionally, it might not even be sustainable. At least the South Florida Regional Transit Authority appears to be taking this opportunity to move forward and salvage some of these investments and train hype.
