    Not sure if you’re proposing more local stores near people around cities, or a retro-futuristic tech bro supermarket delivery train idea (in the past, people will get their groceries via a mini-clay-tablet-thing called Oober Feasts, delivered to their door by a train.) Make it a subscription thing and we talking

      If deliveries are regular and rails line every street, delivery stops being a luxury.

      If food is collectivized, the corner store is functionally just a deep-storage pantry. Both seem fun.

        So, what’s the idea? Rails on every street, for a delivery train? I mean, getting stuff delivered at home like that seems fun. Though it also seems kinda lazy and removes an excuse to leave the house. And I sometimes enjoy seeing what up in the supermarket (and get some free tasting of food)
