The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we’re also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.
I’m pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn’t live out of state
>1000 miles (that’s 1600 km to “edumacashiated” people) so ~2 days drive (or one REALLY long haul). And other family is 3x as far away. The USA is freaking YUGE!
