It definitely makes sense in Europe. It really doesn’t in the sparse US west, but it might in the US east where it already exists due to population density.
In the west, my neighborhood is larger than many European cities. That isn’t hyperbole either, it’s 30,000 acres/121km2. Not completely developed yet, but that is the full size of the area.
I would love light rail or high speed between cities but it would take a century and Trillions to do and then I’d still have to drive to a station. There’s just no way I’d be able to walk like I did in Germany. I do wish, it was amazing.
