I think a more recent map is more interesting:

Remember, America was not built for the car, as ignorant people often claim. It was demolished for the car.

Cars are much more convenient than railroads
This is the whole fucking point. Cars being more convenient than rail is a choice. We have and can make a different choice.
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 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 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.
