The general populace want HSR for medium distance travel but it's tough when you got billionaires who try to kill public transit projects wherever there are whispers. Shades of the 1950s where the automotive industry successfully lobbied cities to remove street cars and trolleys so they can sell more cars.

ex: Hyperloop and Elon's "will be faster and built for a fraction of the cost" claim was literally fabricated to sabotage California's HSR project
I'll note that it's not just billionaires who kill these projects. Many regular people do it by abusing zoning laws and environmental regulations to slow down building
