Haha no, that would be rediculous. I'm just saying its very hard to imagine my life with trains and how that actually factors into daily life.
The only time ive been on trains/subways is vacationing to big cities, where I still had a rental car but parked far from the city and rode the train in. That was fine and all for touristy things.
For 98% of people in huge cities I can see it. For every person I know IRL, it would not work. The suburban nightmare alone with people with 4 kids trying to get them to school alone wouldnt work. You'd basically have to tear down and rebuild all of suburbia. Not that I'm opposed to that, just leave me out of the city myself.
