That’s because in the UK, you can jump on a train and pretty much travel anywhere in the country in a few hours. The US is three thousand miles wide and we don’t have that luxury. Throughout my career I would have loved to have been able to jump on a train in my town and got off a few towns over and have gone to work. That’s possible in much of the UK, not here.
