Yeah we may live in cities, but they are very large and you may have to drive 25 minutes to and from work each day. Some people commute for 45 minutes, some are lucky and live close by.
And for those who live in the country, yeah they still have to drive pretty far to get to anything.
8 hours.....let me see 8 hours of driving and im still in the same state. It would take about 35 hours to drive from california to florida, without traffic.
Hmm, i guess the only city close to that is london. But then you have to pay congestion charges every day ontop of that if you enter the city center
Rip off.
I can get to to about 5 towns or cities with over 300,000 population in about an hour . And about 3 within an hour and a half with over 1 million in population.
And lol about the 8 hour thing. Imagine 1/4 of your entire population living in one of your small states.. pretty crowded ey ? thats the UK
Although it doesn't seem crowded to us.. still plenty of farmland around, but i guess coming from were you are you would find it very different.
Trotter, your town of 40,000 has most the things you need. Wow, i live in a town of about 5,000. It has 4 schools, 2 nurseries, 5 general stores. 3 hairdressers, a supermarket, a bank, a post office, a hardware store, a computer store, it has a builders shop (kinda lucky i guess, but no need to go anywere for wood + bricks etc), and a bus service from 5:30am to 8pm that comes every 10 minutes, then every hour there after. And anything else we need ever they hardly do in the shops over here in any city anyway, so its off to order on the internetz.
We can order things up untill about 9 or 10pm, and receive it before 8am in the morning, and get to 3 theme parks in about an hours drive. I live in the very very center of the england, and it still only takes 2 and a bit hours to get to the sea. (providing we go 90mph instead of 70mph down the motorway
)
I guess thinking about it, it would annoy me living in such a huge country.
