It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'm not personally a fan of rail trails. Most of the rail trails I've seen kind of start nowhere and go nowhere, and they'd be much better off being part of a larger transit infrastructure (like a bus-only route or tram/light-rail route) than as just this weird long park thing that crosses multiple stroads.
But as for driving, yeah, it sucks. There's pretty decent research to show that car dependency is awful for small businesses, because if you have to drive to the store, you're usually just going to pick the one-stop big box mart instead of stopping at four or five mom and pop shops.
