TH: it's gonna take a while for America to catch on.
Between GM/oil ripping up tracks, a general opinion that riding the train (and mass transit) as ghetto and only for the low income, conservatives such as in Orange County consider it a money pit and actively fight against it and anything else that pulls them from their precious cars, it's gonna take a while for civilization to come.
They rather circle for 10s of minutes to find parking at those huge shopping malls/stadiums/etc where half the land is just for parking, spend up to 10% of their work hours crawling through traffic in their shiny luxury cars and more just to get through a major concert/game, and build up a lot of bulk from all that luxurious lack of walking.
