You also aren't going to put a fleet of little one-ton units on the roof Sure you are! Or, well, you could. I lived in Chicago condo that had 20 or so one-per external units on the roof. Some arguments in favor of this approach here:

This argument neglects the fact that the railroads have no problem moving high-priority Z trains just fine. If UPS can ship Amazon prime packages overnight via rail, I have a hard time buying the argument that I should be taking a flight fr
