It would be excellent to have high-speed rail in the southeast, in the Atlanta-Raleigh ("I-85") crescent. This region will eventually be a major urban agglomeration, and improved transit would help its future immensely, as well as the development of the secondary cities along the route. Raleigh, Charlotte, and Atlanta are doing fine; but the Upstate (South Carolina) and Piedmont Triad (North Carolina) could use some help, and being more integrated with the overall region would make a lot of sense.
