- ant6n 7y agoSparsity isn't an issue, the are plenty of people in boswash. The issue is sprawl and suburbanization. Pre-WW2 US was much better for trains, despite having fewer people in the same overall area - just better concentrated.
- maxsilver 7y ago> The issue is sprawl and suburbanization Which itself is also not really the issue, but for the last 20+ years or so, is just a symptom of US cities being openly hostile against most people (whether due to high costs, monopolized land, lack of housing, lack of reasonable transportation infrastructure, lack of education infrastructure, etc).
