Considering the US has 231x the area of the Netherlands (and the infrastructure is far worse), we rely on hacks, kludges, and private industry for stuff to get from one place to another.
Y'know, if you really think about it, the US is just one big growth hack.
Makes me all the more eager to move back to Poland.

- erikpukinskis 11y agoI don't think population density is really the right metric: http://popdensitymap.ucoz.ru/76.Population_density-administrative_boundaries-ma.png http://popdensitymap.ucoz.ru/76.Population_density-administr... http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/89/71789-004-88879E35.jpg http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/89/71789-004-8887... Russia is almost a third as dense as Sweden. To some extent it really is just the huge distances that makes the problem hard.
