Which has all kinds of pervasive cultural effects. I was just reading how high-end hotels in big cities used to cater much more to long-term stays, because when it took days or weeks to get there, people would plan to stay for a while before embarking on the equally long trip home. The modern airport hotel, optimized for one- or two-night stays, is a product of vastly reduced travel times.
