I think that it is because many Americans have no experience with the other as a lifestyle.

I’ve had it both ways, and there’s nothing that compares to having your own house and land with privacy away from noisy neighbors.

When I lived in a city there were more things to do, and I could bike to work, but the crowding feels like a social prison. Also I saw some people get shot, and thieves stole things from my porch repeatedly.

Also, no neighbors who think blasting “She thinks my tractor’s sexy” on repeat eight hours a day is perfectly fine.

Might I suggest buying an audio spotlight, pointing it at the offending house and then blasting Baby Shark at them on repeat?
