Considering the relative surface areas, with those percentages you provided, actually, yes, America is less consolidated.
Comment on Expand North! So much room up there.

America isn’t any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border

The United States also has eight times the total population. I only saw one source that said 40% and the overwhelming majority said either 2/3 or something in the low 70%

Could it be that one source referred only to places with an actual border, while the rest included anything within 160 km of any coast?

Lake Michigan isn’t a border…

Due to the Straits of Mackinac, the CBP considers it to be so.

That would still make Chicago. The third largest city in America further than 100 miles from the border.

I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.

It is a border between wet and dry.

The American one

The border with the ocean probably, humans love to live on the crust of the land

outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 hours ago
Yes and it includes ‘within 100 miles of an airport’.
axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe 3 hours ago

Don’t be such a hyperbolic drama queen; I’m sure theres like a ten square foot area in south dakota or something.

Yep, which is why its more or less blatant ignorance of the constitution

ICE isn’t CBP though. They technically don’t have jurisdiction over American citizens. CBP does.

Oh. Im sure all the citizens they kidnap are very comforted by that.

They’ve started using CBP agents for immigration raids…
