As I always do, I have to leave my 2c for many people who moved to America from a very dense city, and disagree... I tried to live in dense places in Canada and the USA (dt Vancouver BC, SoMa in SF, etc.), use transit, walk for a long time, until I finally moved to a single family neighborhood... and it's SO much better! Especially during COVID. Aside from obvious benefits of quiet, trees, space, etc. I love driving everywhere, and dread having to walk or take transit now. I only wish I had moved all the way to a distant suburb instead of still being in the city... and that I did it years ago. I'll never live in a dense area again if I have a choice.
The main difference in Europe, as far as I can tell, is that only well-to-do people can afford a big house with land. And in Eastern Europe or East Asia, only the rich can. The US is just more advanced this way ;)
