I'm not aware of any city-local maglev trains. American cities are still spread out from one-another.

I think you are misunderstanding my point. The issue in America is that you tend to need a car to navigate within a city (metro area). Far less true in China.
Shanghai happens to have one of the few, but it’s not especially practical: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_maglev_train
It is pretty practical when you go to the airport.
There’s the Linimo in Nagoya, Japan
