I think the comment above could have been better articulated. America is ‘huge’ because of cultural inclinations. People want to feel autonomous. People don't want to live in too close of proximity to others. Despite recent attempts to create more welcoming city environments (safe streets, missing middle housing, equitable transportation) in the US, most still prefer suburban living. In turn, giving a more ‘spread out feeling.’ That’s just my opinion though.
