I’m French but lives in the US since a while.

Distances just hit differently on their side of the Atlantic.

It’s considerably less tiresome and costly to cover long distance in cars.

I noticed that a 500km ride in France is very long distance. A once in a summer thing. While a 350miles trajectory in the us is something I can do with less friction.

This is a big factor, but living in the US I do miss the cheap flights that made weekend city breaks within Europe cheap and easy. From San Francisco it seems like the only place you can get a similarly cheap flight to is Las Vegas and I've never understood the attraction of gambling...
