Lazy framing on HSR (at least, initially):https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1095783939111817222 …

Also, sadly true. Way cheaper to build HSR from Houston-Dallas in Texas which isn't on a bunch of giant seismic faults and has flat, instead of steeper, vegetated terrain: https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/11/29/bullet-train-texas-central-what-to-expect.html …https://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1095791615845773315 …

The civil law system is steadily devolving into some common law hybrid. It may contain the worst of both. A flood of statutes, and vague clauses that judges shape in case law. No slow growth. Chaos. Richterrecht.

So you'd predict that Louisiana with its Napoleonic civil law would be less litigious than its neighbors? Compare civil litigation filings in Louisiana to e.g. those in Texas (its somewhat larger neighbor to the west). You might be surprised at what you find.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Germany, for example, is more litigious than the UK, though it's lawsuits are cheaper and, except for commercial disputes, quicker. The procurement rules you highlight are a much bigger driver.
