Mag Lav Trains

I wonder what it would be like to have high speed trains in Texas like they have in Europe.  It is funny
that i see the video on the web about a guy from NASA tying to put PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) in California.  (see Sky Tran Post) After viewing a few videos on YouTube I realized that cities put lite rail in to accomplish job
creation and real estate development.  They often state that this is the best way to accomplish mass transit but
technology exist to do it faster cheaper and without using eminent domain.  It makes you wonder if there was
a way to bypass the slow moving local governments what could be done to give effective mass transit for the
general public.....
