No we cannot. There is no way trains would be more convenient than cars. Have u tried going to the store and bringing a cart of groceries home?
I have.
Then make stores we can just walk to in like 10 minutes. Then you don’t need to take a whole cart of groceries home and you can just go shopping every day for whatever you need
i like to say that the grocery store is my pantry, what i keep at home is basically just pasta, spices, stuff like vinegar, and the fresh things i’ve bought from the store that day.
I go to one of the 5 stores close to my home several times a week, sometimes multiple times the same day. We have gone insanely overboard with store density, but it’s completely feasible to have small stores everywhere if the incentive are there.
No u see railroads were before cars. We humans made a choice to use cars. That’s because they were drastically more convenient.
I don’t want to use the railroad I’m sorry. I would rather have a car. I mean yes I want a flying car, I want an electric car - but its still need to be an individual means of transportation I don’t need to share with anyone and with a cargo compartment.
I’d take trains for long trips, but no way could I get by without a car. How would I carry our family’s crap to the beach, camp, lake? How would I get 15 sacks of groceries home? Forget hitting the hardware story for much of anything.
OTOH, I’d love to hop a train and roll to New Orleans or Mobile for a day trip.
Cars are much more convenient than railroads
No they’re not - when I sleep during the car trip, everyone freaks out!
This is the whole fucking point. Cars being more convenient than rail is a choice. We have and can make a different choice.

You could use an ebike with a trailer attached.

I want to go shopping every day?? I work for a living.
Sure, if the store is right next to your house, you can just buy something real quick and eat it

I don’t have time to do that.
