    I love that Americans would still rather have crappy rectangles of lawn that they never use for anything than build up to the edge of the plot and have more rooms. Those plots are probably slightly bigger than that of my three bedroom terrace house.

      Blame the zoning laws for that. They require minimum setbacks on each side and a maximum floor area to land area ratio.
