Then let Disney and the Development Bureau of Miami pitch in and with private equity investors, start with Orlando to Miami as a prototype. Since the line is predicted to be such a success they couldn't afford not to do it. You could be the pitch-woman.

I suggest you look up the name Henry Flagler who built his railway over ocean in the late 1890's. If he could do it then, Buffett can do it now.
