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

Depends on which parts of the family.

Most of the people on my dad's side are within an hour drive. Most of my mom's side is technically in another state, but it's only about a two hour drive. It would be less, but the fucking mountains.

Farthest away in state is a solid 3 hour drive. But, again, there's people in another state that are closer as the crow flies, but across the mountains so that it would take an extra hour just to get to where you could drive to them. It's one of those things where you can't get there from here, you have to go somewhere else first.

But I can hop on my scooter and be at my sister's in maybe five minutes. It's walking distance if you can walk that kind of distance in the first place. My brother is maybe a half hour drive.
