Not to worry.

The hovercraft will be routed over hovercraft lanes out over the ocean or through unpopulated areas.

Bullet trains, on the other hand, will have to be routed in a direct line, and the tracks will undoubtedly be built right by your front doorstep.

From what I've seen on Maglev's on the Discovery Channel, the trackage requirements are even more ridiculous than for bullet trains. Basically, the Maglev train is the stator, and the track is the rotor. Lots and lots of EXPENSIVE copper and other technology built into the track.

Building and electrifying four hundred miles of maglev track isn't cheap.
