    I don’t think trains can solve all of it, although you in the US especially could benefit greatly from better rail infrastructur, imho.

    I suspected, it was a career decision. But I also think maybe you’d have chosen a different path, if you’d have had better opportunities closer to your home?

    I won’t blame you for having taken those decisions in a system that takes flight mobility for granted. And it probably would be hard for you to go back, now that you’ve arranged your life that way. But also I think it would be a mistake to let that get in the way of envisioning a more sustainable future for our societies.

    In my opinion, sustainability is more than just a tech challenge. But encompasses a broader political vision, that enables people to take more sustainable decisions in the first place. And people take decisions like that based on the opportunities and possibilities they see.
