Mostly agreed! The interstate highway system is one of America’s greatest achievements, and sorely underrated. And yes, we could do the same with passenger rail. I’d shit to hop a train, burn down the track to the French Quarter (New Orleans), get hammered, party down, sleep all the way back to Florida.
A cultural point you may be missing, if you’re not American, not all of us want to live in big cities. I know, far more efficient, no arguments there, but I refuse to live my only life packed in like rats.
I’ve lived in Chicago, my current suburb of 9,000, my camp in a town of 900, and everywhere in between. I’m no misandrist, love people in general, but I’m not living that close to them. I get a little freaked out going to Pensacola! (54,000 souls) Been there, done that, need space and forests and waters.
I can walk out my door and in 20 minutes disappear into hundreds of acres of forests, creeks and swamps. That is how I want to live the only life I got.

But as to my other comment, I got questions.

We can talk park-and-ride systems?
