Happy to help.
I should have mentioned a slightly different option of rack seating is basically to install a cushion, some rails, and running board to keep the little legs from flopping around.
The rails are kind of hard to search online for because they get called a lot of different things. I found this one by Surly, and this other one by Yuba.
That couple I mentioned before have a set of these on the one bike they take two of their children on. I don't think they have running boards on their bike, but I've seen other people use them and think they're a good idea. Here's a post I found from some guy that made his own for a few bucks.
Benefit of the rails over the specific child seat is the rails still help hold cargo for when you need it.
Keep in mind, this whole kid on a rack option will change your centre of gravity, and starting, stopping, and slow maneuvers in general will feel a bit different.
Hope it works out!
It occurs to me that you might do well with a simple seat on that rear rack, instead of a trailer. A couple with three young children in my circle have one on each of their bikes, and they go all over the place like that.
Regarding a single track trailer. Your wheels appear to be 20" which is typical for foldable bikes like that. My road bike wheels are 26-27" or so, and the single track connection clears it with ease. I'm sure, even with your rack, you'd have no trouble with a single track connection to the seat post. Main thing to think about would be when approaching a gradient change - assuming your seat tube is lower than mine - to go at it on an angle so the trailer doesn't bottom out. I've taken mine on some light trails and have never had a problem though.
I don't have any experience with hub drive bikes, but if you were to go with a chariot type trailer, the connection bracket could be installed on the spindle, might just need to make that smaller hole big enough to accommodate your axle.
Do you already have the bike trailer?
I've used both the two wheeled chariot style that connects to the axle on the left side, as well as a single track style trailer that uses a curved arm from the seat post.
Personally I prefer the latter for the better turning radius, narrower profile, and it also provides the experience for your child of tilting when turning. That said, I have connected the chariot to the single track carrier and gone on picnics and such.
I've also built my own cargo trailers before, so if you share some photos of the tail section of your bike and the style of trailer, I might be able to offer some specific suggestions.
That's certainly true of most everywhere in America.
I would suggest that instead of running yet another highway through a city centre, the money be spent on buses, or something cheaper than roads - tram lines. Trams could connect these island-esque neighbourhoods and be a boon to the young and the old alike.
Even in a place like Texas, transit could alleviate that feeling that everyone still needs a car.
These isolated communities also doom the residents and more importantly their children to a life chained to car ownership.
Imagine the gearing on a half tonne bicycle hahaha.
I like to think in this future, vehicles have also become wide enough they take up multiple of our current lanes as to not tip over by being tall as a house.

Bonus, the compact car of next century:
The infrastructure would be comical.
I don't get the problem here.
We just need some big ass bikes!
I see your point, but I also saw Juiced Bikes go out of business last month after 15 years in the industry.
China's market is also fundamentally different. The buyers care more about function than they do form. This is what allows vehicles like the Changli to sell in China for about $1,000 USD. People import them for about triple that, and there you go, a four figure electric car. These days there are even some commercial outfits in the United States that import dozens at a time and sell them for about $10,000 USD for people that don't want to deal with the bologna that comes with international imports.
The safety and quality are certainly on par with the cost, but at low speeds, we certainly don't need advanced safety equipment. Accidents would be less common anyway if people had more reaction time as a result of driving slower. Besides, many repairs that may be needed will be simpler to perform due to the less complex construction.
Regarding longevity, there are people using these things on farms, on construction sites, and in college towns. Might not last twenty years, but seeing how buying a used car for $500 can end up costing you more than $40,000 over less than a decade, I'd say the Changli is extremely compelling given the cost per year of ownership.
Funny how a mistake in a single sentence earns vitriol on the entire comment.
Despite what I'd mistakenly wrote, I meant that to overcome inflation and see a return of double to quadruple your investment - which is what the comment starting this thread suggests as the outcome - you'd have to beat the market by around 10%.
Regardless, my point was more to do with whether someone with only $50 to spare a month is truly in a position to invest in anything or whether they might be better off saving it for a rainy day or something like that.
If someone has a few dollars to spare come month's end, but has found themselves skipping the odd meal, that money would probably be better spent on a small grocery trip than putting it into an ETF that'll take years to turn a profit.
