- davidw 7y agoWhat's odd is that tons of Americans spend a whole bundle of money every year to go to Europe, and talk about how great it is. Having lived there for a number of years, it's just different, really, and certainly not "worse" than the US, if you're an adaptable person. Our rental here in the US has a massive front lawn that is a complete waste of land and water - to keep the stupid lawn that no one ever, ever uses green. It has a big back yard too. Our kids like it, but to be honest, I think they preferred the situation in Italy, where we had no yard, but a park close by where they'd often find friends to play with.
