In great part because New England's density, entrenched political power -- (# trains limited by need to allow Old Saybrook sailboats under drawbridges) -- ensures that the physical structure conflict with the physics of speed. 2/

Absolutely, the problem being that density itself has a causal relationship to entrenched political power.
