I’d love if I could take the train to the mountains, but the US (and Australia) is a large place with low overall density, so cars make sense for some travel.

I’d love if I could take the train to the mountains, but the US (and Australia) is a large place with low overall density, so cars make sense for some travel. But few American communities are planned with minimizing car use as a key tenet. I’m lucky to live in one that is.
