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).

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

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