      Yes, I’ve had relatives say this exact thing and if I mention that China is the same size they’d say something like “we our population is more spread out” like that fucking matters. we also have the benefit of most of our cities were built around rail and aren’t several thousand years old.

        The US population is spread out but also in dense cities, which is absolutely perfect for rail. Just connect the cities.
