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

Too damn close sometimes.

I loved my parents when they still lived, and will love their memory until my last day. But I was glad to live a few hours away by car.
