Most people also don't realize that it's is all the big infrastructure required for car dependency that makes a lot of things more expensive, homes, property taxes and rent just to mention a few. Rent in jew york is on average 5 times higher than London, Paris and Moscow.
And among these cities, jew york has the crappiest infrastructure, richest city in the world yet can't even maintain it's most basic infrastructure such as roads, water and sewage, power, drainage, metro system and so on.
Once not every trip ever made requires a car, which has to drive around the whole superblock just to get to a nearby property via centralized big roads. A lot of traffic will disappear, and bad drivers too. Which means, when you do need to or want to drive somewhere, the road will be in perfect condition and have almost no traffic.

Just like the old days. BTW, [Chicago -93](https://oyvei.raccoons.space/2022/04/02/61af5993397d864bbe5b5df4a0944499.webp), Amtrak had plans to deploy high speed trains allover America 30 years ago but didn't. (((Something))) stopped them.
Amtrak doesn't own any track. It doesn't work in the US because freight always has right if way since they're the only companies making actual money to maintain the track.
Which is a shame, railroads should be owned and maintained by the government, just like highways and roads. Amtrak should be privately owned, and so should the freight companies. But with relevant regulation to ensure no unsafe trains are out there.
