There are 11 states in America that cover more area than England and in some states in the US you might have miles between neighbors...it's easy to forget such things. The big roomy states are typically out west and there's a reason they are so spacious, climate and terrain can be hostile for example. There are some absolutely gorgeous places in America (as I am sure there are amazing beautiful places in England as well).
I live in a decent sized city and have a yard that is roughly half an acre...it's a bitch to mow, but the space will be worth it once we've got everything we want in the space...we might be obtaining some bees soon. We are going to get chickens as well and of course you need space to do such things. If it was up to me my next home would be a farm with lots of acreage so I can hunt AND farm....would be nice, but it's going to take a while to get there.
A half an acre yard to me would be the equivalent of owning the local park, my garden is probably half the size of your laundry room. Most people where I live don't even have a tiny garden, to get an allotment it takes around 25 years.
It's a claustrophobic hell hole.
