High speed rail is fantastic, but good inter-city routes are not a substitute for excellent local city planning. People should be able to live close to their work, and even closer to their daily amenities like shops, hospitals, schools, sports clubs and other social venues, cafes, etc., and should be able to get to them within a short walk or bike ride, without having to rely on long-distance travel like cars or even trains.
I agree but also, I want to live further out but there's no money out there. My lifestyle isn't exactly living high on the vine but the lack of industry in regional areas means the base rate is low.
