The other thing about the US is the missing middle. We don’t have a lot of medium density housing. There is a focus on single family homes because the car industry was so successful at convincing everyone and politicians that everyone needed a car. Ironically, now we all need cars because everything is spread out. Even big cities like Atlanta, Denver, Detroit, etc… have a ton of urban sprawl and low density. Our cities just aren’t nearly as walkable and sense as others.
