The thing is in the United States there's an abundance of properties and communities available that give you lots of personal living and working space. In fact, it's pretty much the default. The frustration is that there's a shrinking pool of available higher-density living spaces that are all astronomically priced because of high demand and low supply, and any attempt to grow this pool of higher density space is met with stiff opposition.
I do tend to be the one neighbor out in the yard the most by an order of magnitude.
I also have a 60 acre rural property because even a quarter acre in the suburbs doesn’t give me enough space to play.
