Another big factor might be that I live in the US. Generally speaking, everything you want to go to is a lot farther away here.

Given the rapid urbanization of America, that will not be true for long.

Assuming that the 9 mile limit holds, that is a pretty long distance in most cities. I live in the suburban edge of a small city, and downtown is only 6.4 miles away for me. Even when I lived in LA, 9 miles was more than enough for 80% of my trips or so.
