    instead of creating more car infrastructure we could make more train or tram/metro infrastructure to make sure there’s always a station a walkable distance from where you want to be

      For planning future communities, sure. It does not make sense to try to shoehorn trains into many parts of the cities we have today.

        How about shoehorning roads? Do they make more sense? Cause that’s what’s happening in a lot of places. My town had electric trams and big green spaces downtown in the 50s, but they’ve extinguished the tram lines and demolished the green spaces to build freeways cutting straight through historic neighbourhoods.

          Of course not. If neighborhoods are being built with proper transit in mind, why would I ask for unnecessary roads…

        That is not entirely correct. Look for example at Switzerland.

        Sure, there are limits, you probably won’t have a train station at every farm 50 miles from everything else, but you also don’t need large cities to make it work at all.
