The vast majority of the US isn't in an urban area, where these would thrive (presuming they could get the distance thing down).

Edit: maybe not (see below).



Actually, 80% of US citizens are in "urban areas." http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/2010_census...


Interesting, thanks for the research. I guess I shouldn't be too shocked, but it is a bit surprising (we have an enormous land mass).


Yeah, we have a lot of land, but you wouldn't want to live there...


I'm glad you don't. :).


Are you considering land mass or where people actually live? Large sections of the country are practically unpopulated.
