the idea of a market finding a solution is a strange anthropomorphism.
it imputes agency to a network of networks.
why does that come from? hegel? god?
infrastructure-level change requires planning. capitalism in its particularly american variant has trouble with long-term thinking and trouble with even maintaining infrastructure without state support much less building it (think electricity markets in kali or attempts to sell off water supply management)...so the requisite change in infrastructure that would enable rail transport to become a more central (and rational) part of getting from a to b would require state action, like it or not. state action requires a plan.
gotta go.
