The LSM perspective and the Biblical perspective are two very different concepts.
From the LSM perspective, you drive to the nearest locality. Suppose you live in Yakima, WA you'll have to drive nearly 45 minutes to Prosser or Tri-Cities for LSM affiliated fellowship unless you decide to stay home for fellowship instead of meeting with a local assembly.
Certainly there are other parts of the United States with similar circumstances. In the past it was even more extreme due to fewer localities.
In the mid-80's when I was a teen, there was only one locality in Southern California counties of Riverside and San Bernardino. It was common for ones to leave their local communities to drive 30 minutes or more for a LDM.
