US is more dense though (going by www.worldometers.info). I think these explanations “why we can’t have good things” are too simplistic. Ignore rail and fiber for a second, and look at commuter air travel for example: European market is much more competitive and prices are much lower than for comparable flights in the US.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI think you should double check, that sounds reversed. US and Europe have similar area but Europe has quite a lot more people.
- perardi 5y agoYeah, Europe is way, way more dense. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=population+density+USA+vs+europe https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=population+density+USA... United States | 36 people/km^2 Europe | 104 people/km^2
- lovecg 5y agoHuh. I wonder where this data is from: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/europe-population/ https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/europe-popula... “The population density in Europe is 34 per Km^2” Edit: duh. They included all of Russia as “Europe”. I stand corrected.
