  1. @Will A if the transportation is so fast an reliable, then you can set up more places that go along the railway, not just one spot along it. you can't just say higher living cost will occur. most often that occurs because of shortages, caused by government policy of restricting building development and renovation, as well as transportation not being good enough that only x distance away from the main city center gets populated. pollution exists wherever people live, and it's a matter of overall pollution habits and policies, not anything to do with rails per se. your statements are just assertions, not really guaranteed outcomes.
