Eventbrite: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
If you near Houston (Texas Triangle), Chicago (Midwest), or Providence, RI (Northeast Corridor)....free events to discuss this topic in the coming days and weeks

Your point is valid, but depends on land use and land use restrictions.
San Francisco/Bay is constricted by mountains, the Bay itself, National Parks, land use restrictions that stop growth into San Joaquin Valley, and even in the case of San Jose, they can't build very tall buildings there because the airport is to close to downtown area.
Northeast Corridor still has lots of suburbs and inner cities that are "underdeveloped"....and then if you build something like a Hyperloop, places as far away as Richmond, VA become good value locations to build a home....because at those speeds of 300 miles per hour or whatever ridiculous speed your commute is still reasonable to get to jobs in DC or Baltimore area or beyond....and vice versa.

I would prefer Milwaukee-Chicago-Detroit
7. Team Hyperloop Midwest
Hyperloop One
The 488-mile system would carry passengers and cargo between Pittsburgh and Chicago with a stop in Columbus. The team is led by Thea Walsh, director of transportation systems and funding for the mid-Ohio regional planning.
edit* or Madison-Chicago- Detroit

Will probably be 2nd tier route. Detroit is in a good place. It's between Toronto and Chicago.
Plus, Pittsburgh is kind of a link from East Coast to Midwest, for DC and Philly if they ever get the East Coast rail poppin.
No doubt, if they can get this technology to perform as they claim, keep costs in check, and most importantly safe as fuuck....it's just a matter of will power to get it done.

We are getting closer to looking like sci-fi movies than any of us realize...IMHO.
^^^Peep the news segment. A 1 hour rush hour commute, becomes 8 minutes in the air...Game Changer Territory.
If they can get the regulations and technology right for these VTOL craft
...it's over...very likely we willhave "pilotless flying commuters" before "driverless vehicles"
Point being, people making these brutal one way commutes will be inexpensively "air commuting" from far off metro areas with cheaper housing.

It was all good just a year ago.
Anyway....

Hyperloop projects are now eligible for federal funding in the US
The DOT has issued guidance on a federal regulatory framework.
Kris ****, 07.24.20
Hyperloop projects are a big step closer to becoming a reality in the US. The Department of Transportation and the NETT Council have issued a federal regulatory framework guidance document for hyperloop and other emerging forms of transportation tech. It gives hyperloop a designation under the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the same umbrella as high-speed rail.
"Except for self-contained urban rapid transit systems, FRA's statutory jurisdiction extends to all entities that provide nonhighway ground transportation over rails or electromagnetic guideways, and extends to future railroads using technologies not yet in use," the broad document reads. While it doesn't explicitly mention hyperloop, the document clearly places the technology under the FRA's jurisdiction.
This is the first regulatory guidance document of its kind for hyperloop projects anywhere. It creates a roadmap for hyperloop regulation and rollouts across the US, and, just as importantly, these projects are now eligible for federal funding.
“We have determined that these hyperloop projects are just as eligible for grant as any maglev or magnetic levitation project,” said Finch Fulton, deputy assistant secretary for transportation policy. “This includes the Federal Railroad Administration Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program, the Office of the Secretary BUILD and INFRA grants, and programs of that sort. This also means that they would be eligible for some of the Department’s loan and lending programs.”
Federal funding will probably play a key role in making hyperloops happen, particularly since some of the mooted projects cross state lines. One proposed hyperloop that’d link Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh had an estimated cost of $25 billion at the end of last year.

Virgin Hyperloop selects West Virginia for 1st Hyperloop Certification Center. They beat out 17 other applicants, including DFW area, Missouri, Ohio, etc.
