That trains can’t do that every bit as well as cars (Much better, quite frankly) is a myth. You can look at both North American history and massive spread-out continental countries overseas for plentiful evidence otherwise. The car monoinfrastructure is simply an intentional policy choice. Reversing it involves confronting that fact.
I’m a 20 minute drive to a town with more than one grocery store. I’m a 3 hour drive to the hospital you get sent to if there’s anything seriously wrong. There is zero public transit.

We ain’t got enough train lines to get us anywhere other than the major metropolitan areas.

What you said supports the argument of the person you’re trying to refute. There aren’t enough train lines.
Heh you’re right. I come across the far-apartness meme and I see red, and need to inform on the myth above all else.
I’m not sure about that, I think the real issue here is that there just aren’t enough train lines

The automobile lobby has been blocking all development here for ages.
Yeah my bad, see the other reply to my comment by Drusas.
