Critics: CAHSR is a bad idea and should be killed.
Author: Here's the story of how hard it is to build this novel type of large scale infrastructure, especially when people don't strongly support it.
The dysfunction is real, but the actual point was, "How much of this dysfunction and how much was just what you get with half-assed support?"
You're interpretation of that "no track has been laid" quote betrays that you aren't evaluating this fairly. You really don't understand that laying rocks and steel on a path is easier than building whole bridges and viaducts.
