      Tell me you don’t live in a rural area without telling me you don’t live in a rural area.

      I’m not trying to be an ass or anything, but I live in a rural “city” and I feel this kind of solution would just barely work, if at all. You’re still looking at nearly everyone out here needing their own personal vehicle. Like yeah cars ruin big cities, but for the most part the only thing cars really did for rural areas was just replace the horse and cart. Especially since I’m pretty sure a lot of railroads were closing down and or merging together for a variety of reasons long before the advent of cars and carbrain.

        absolutely not, no. 1790s guys did not have a 1 hour horse cart commute, this is carbrain applied retroactively to the past
