Many have heard that Americans do not have fences in front of their houses, but few know why.
We explain why it happened that there are no fences in the USA.
Why are there no fences in the USA
As the Zen channel "Travel, Tourism, Science" reports, the Protestant ethic played a role. Protestants are accustomed to living in a community, not to rise above their neighbors, not to isolate themselves from them.
Secondly, in the USA, in matters of improvement, everything is subject to general rules; many different restrictions are in effect.
There you may be required to paint your house a certain color, mow the lawn and rake leaves at a certain frequency, etc.
It is not possible to simply put up a three-meter fence with barbed wire on a plot of land in the USA.
Thirdly, Americans do not put up fences so as not to interfere with the work of public utilities.
In the USA, for the mutual convenience of residents and utility workers, meters are installed in a place that provides unhindered access for the controller.
Fourth, savings. A fence can be a very expensive thing, and Americans are not inclined to squander money.
