Yes it would. It would be worth the investment IF Americans stopped driving their gas guzzling vehicles. Yes, many seniors are already using trains. I have a good example of how rail is beneficial. Several times a year I go to a large midwestern city to shop, go to ball games or catch a concert. I get on a Metro link outside the city, some 30 miles away. It is cheap. I don't hassle with driving in the city or parking. It is also fun. Much to my surprise many people do the same thing. When going and coming from ball games the Metro is packed, and the people enjoy it. That Metro connects to the bus station, rail station and the airport. The Metro link stations out in the burbs or country have plenty of parking and allow long term parking for no charge. It's a get deal. Yes, this is the future of travel/commuting in America.

Certainly to do this, you should pull a permit,,,at least everywhere I've ever worked, In that process the CODES are not only clear, but very often enforced....WHY??? Liabilty, to you, your family, friends, the meter reader, etc.
Certainly there CAN BE different comfort levels for a deck rail, and many that should be considered, again,,,for liability,,IE: Height from the ground, of the deck, Children or pets who may FALL from that height or become STUCK, and injured in the ballustrades used,,,if any are.
The Code office at your local govt offices will allow you all the specs, even without demanding a permit instantly, and that affords you the opportunity to choose from options.

i have built many decks and believe in codes to a point. they have their purpose.
Try this , take a deck chair and sit in it and then measure what your eye level is . Most of the time you build at 36, find a height between 36 and your eye level, other wise you will be looking at the rails till it fall in , but keep in mine safety

Check with your local city building inspector. Most cities have ordinances or codes that govern such things.

You need to talk to your building department. Different towns have different rules.
