rail system in Europe/italy is great but it would be difficult to make something cost effective..especially in the Midwest. Too spread out.

I'd be an advocate but you'd have to show me a self sustaining system. Billions in infrastructure that isn't used would be my concern
-
same here! solvency is a primary concern; I'm interested in railways which *make* money rather than losing it
-
gotta get land use right to do that, so you have a lot of businesses and houses instead of a lot of parking next to a train station
-
Sure--but that means building stations near businesses and houses, rather than the reverse (greenfield stations with the hope of growth)
-
yeah, but also changing land use laws in those places— most American towns outlawed traditional pedestrian-oriented architecture postwar
-
I know. Definitely a lot of work to be done!
