Why Americans Don't Build Fences in Front of Houses

Surely, everyone at least once paid attention to the fact that in the American suburbs, in contrast to the private sectors in the countries of the former USSR, there are no fences at all. Why don't the Americans put up any fence, or this image, created in the minds of the masses, is in fact another product of Hollywood?

A house, a lawn, a letter box, a car next to the garage, and no fence between the sidewalk street and the very grounds of the house. What is this: another propaganda image of the "American Dream" created by Hollywood, or is it a reflection of the objective reality of life in the suburbs of the United States? After all, everyone knows that Americans are extremely jealous of the concept of private property and private life.

Fences around homes in private sectors in the United States are indeed absent in the vast majority of cases. In any case, around the house from the street side. Most often there is a fence, but it is located only around the part of the site that is hidden from the street by the house. There are several reasons for this architectural decision in America. The first is tradition. The fact is that Christian Protestant traditions are very strong in the USA, which imply life in communities, and fencing off from neighbors in communities is a sign of bad form. Modern people have not thought in such categories for a long time, but the tradition for several centuries managed to gain a foothold at the level of something self-evident.

The second reason is the municipal and administrative structure. Decisions on the rules for the appearance of the suburbs are made at the level of individual municipalities. Things like mowing lawns, color of houses, rules for installing fences - all this and much more is decided by local authorities in each separate municipal territory.

The third reason is financial. Installation of a fence, oddly enough, is not a cheap pleasure. And most Americans are great at counting money and setting up essentially useless fencing from the outside. the streets in the minds of the majority of local citizens are not only a bad tone, but also an absolutely unnecessary infusion money.
