  • It’s interesting because almost every single one of the Kmarts in my area disappeared right about the same time, and it was about the same time they started building a lot of luxury condos. Once companies realized that they would make a lot more money off of the luxury condo build and those areas were zoned for both residential and commercial they went ahead and acquired the lots tore down the buildings and now almost every single one of them is a luxury condo. There’s only one exception and I think it’s because the state had to take control of it because they rebuilt the highway that was right next to it and increase the off-ramp and on-ramp area and rebuild the road to basically cut across where the parking lot used to be.



  • 10 hours only gets you 1/3 across the US. I drive that regularly. The US is huge, and so many places you could never get to in a train like you mention. Hell even any of the proposed train routes anywhere only touch the surface of anywhere in this country. If you live in a city, and never leave, it only occasionally travel to another major city, sure a train or a bus work, I spent 8 years without owning a car, I know more then most how limiting it is.
