Twiceshy asks:"Bullet" Trains and Your Neighborhood

We are fortunate enough to live near a light rail station, and haven't experienced any problems, but many folks protested light rail near their homes. In other words, mass transit is good, just not in their neighborhoods.

To move more people further, faster, and using fewer fossil fuels, there has been talk of high speed trains, or "Bullet Trains" being built across the country.

If you knew one of these was going to be built near your neighborhood, would you accept its being built, or would you protest against its location?
