"I would love to live here"photo looks like a typical suburb - with a population density that is at a level where everyone still needs to own a car. I'm thinking European cities like Bern. Most people don't need one to get to work but basically every household still needs one for non-work use.

Car-free population density should be more like minor Japanese cities (like Kanazawa, etc), or old towns in Europe (downtown Bordeaux).

Trains are good for short distances, like going to work.

When you compare trains to planes, why would you take a train for a long distance journey? It takes much longer to get there and it's also more expensive.

Depends on what you call short distance and where you live

When I travel a lot of the time train is (definetly) cheaper but also more convenient and faster (up to like 500km).

ye but what if i have to go to a tiny village that has no public transport nearby
