Isnt that a tired bullshit excuse usually pushed by … well I’m open to suggestions for group descriptors, by this point? As you yourself point out this is about cities (and suburbs), not the somewhat empty space between them.
Definitely a bullshit excuse, the problem with trains in the US is that the ones we do have are far understaffed, under-prioritized, and sometimes unsafe.
With the amount of funding we put into roads of all types we could have potentially had a rail system as well-connected as Japan’s. Instead the rail system we do have is engineered to cater to freight and any passenger cars on the lines are deprioritized.
