Trains aren’t difficult technical solutions.
- mminer237 3y agoTrains aren't a solution at all in most areas. My subdivision isn't going to build a rail line to the city 15 miles away. That would require a total abandonment of single-family housing at the least.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoWith trains, the hardware isn't the problem. The property rights are - specifically those of people owning land and real estate on, or near, the planned tracks. But it's still a possible (if uber expensive) problem - the government could eminent domain its way through. But expecting people to spontaneously abandon cars and demand trains? That is impossible in practice.
