> High-speed rail competes badly against air travel
For long distances, yes. For short to medium distances, high-speed rail can be much better. In the DC-Boston corridor, rail is already very competitive with air and that's with "high-speed" rail speeds averaging 80mph. True high-speed rail would be much better than air in that corridor.
