Why in the world not? I specifically moved to be close to mine, I hate driving for my commute

Passenger trains can only operate efficiently in areas of extremely high population density. If I’m living somewhere serviced by trains, then everywhere I go, I’ll be in a crowd.

I’m enough of an introvert that this sounds like an extraordinarily uncomfortable proposition. I’d need an exorbitant financial benefit to even consider it, and that’s not going to happen. Instead, I’m expected to pay a very high premium for the “privilege” of being miserable everywhere I go.

No thanks, I’ll stay out here in the sticks.

You’re absolutely spot on, and it’s evidenced by house prices here in the UK where they’re next to or near a rail line.

They are noisy fuggers and people do not like living by them.

Unless you are near a train stop when it skyrockets
