> small Europe

Europe isn't microscopic. Paris to Amsterdam is about 300 miles, which is the same as Chicago to Cleveland. This is for intercity travel, and of course in the Western USA, except for the Pacific Coast, it is really not very dense.

SF to LA and SF to Crescent City are both over 350 miles and you never leave CA.

On the other hand:

Santa Barbara to San Diego

Bay Area to Sacramento

Sacramento to Bakersfield and on to LA

Portland to Seattle - or paralleling I-5 through Oregon.

All reasonably dense.
