As far as high speed rail projects go, I think mainstream economists would support these ideas. The reason I feel this way is because they provide alternative ways of transportation as well as easier accessibility. I believe economists like the fact of having high speed rails because it will reduce pollution as well as provide less rush hour traffic. There will be fewer accidents and less fossil fuel being burned daily if more people were to take high speed rails. Economists are always thinking what’s better for the economy but fail to realize that people may not always agree. What may be easy for some people may not be easy for all people.
My stand on high speed rails is that I believe it’s a great idea. I think that these projects are costly and will affect many people when it comes to their taxes but I also believe that people will benefit in many ways. For one, it will provide people with a different way to get around town. It will provide ease of transportation and keep people from driving and using their cars at times. I believe this will help keep traffic jams to a minimum and will also provide people more direct route to and from their jobs. Rail projects will also provide cities with growth opportunities because people will be able to travel faster and easier. I am definitely for these projects.
