why are walls/fences around houses so common in australia? what are the implications for walkability? you'd think the USA would look like this given the individualist culture and higher rates of violent crime but it's much less common here.

USA is not individualist lol.
It's only individualist when compared to europe.
Australia is built by ex convicts so fences make sense. If you want to see real individualism google russian suburban areas with 10 feet tall walls around houses, cameras, dogs and security alarm.
Brandon Cooper
It's mad being tall as fuck and being able to see into peoples houses as you walk by, despite them having a big, fuck off fence. Your fence doesn't do shit nigga, haha.
Ayden Taylor
I thought Anglo nations didn't have fences.
Thomas Cooper
The us is a hive mind and you know it
Connor Nguyen
Bigger the fence, more thirdie it is
Caleb Morgan
English speaking countries are among the most individualist in the world, especially the US and Australia. Individualism isn't simply about walls/fences.
Almost every single house in US suburbs and even larger properties in rural areas have fences/walls, regardless of state.
Michael Perry
>almost every single house in us has fences regardless of state
in my state there are very few fences in suburbs, and rural areas. some in the cities but still not the majority
Bentley Sanchez
that silly fence wont stop a camel spider from crawling into australian houses and then making his way into australian men peeholes
Jeremiah Ortiz
By that logic we are individualist as fuck - we have fences even around graves.
Jason Cook
Why not? It looks nicer and people won't casually walk over your lawn.
Well we don't have barbed wire or anything on residential properties.
Dylan Johnson
I thought those bins were apus
James Butler
Individualism has more to do with state of mind, perception of self and how you fit into society and society's role. Fences/walls are a more arbitrary consideration, as it could simply indicate a kleptocratic society and populace. The irony is the US is also a massive kleptocracy, but concepts of socialism and collectivism are widely rejected in peace times.

It depends on the neighbourhood, it's class, and when it was built. Here is the fence the people opposite my house put up last year, I'm not really sure what they hoped to achieve with it..
Christopher Nguyen
my neighbour threatened to bash my head in this afternoon. That’s why we fucking have fences.
Ryan Stewart
its for privacy

How do you even measure human behavior and put it on a map. You’re dumb to believe this nonsense
Nicholas Hughes
you do surveys with a bunch of behavioral questions, an american will answer choose all the muh freedom answers because it's expected of them. so it's more like a map of perceived individualism rather than reality
Isaac Hall
Case studies of selective behavior and perceptions among others.
Jack Bailey
Thirdies are fucking animals, only the finn got it right. Australians differ from americans because we don't want random faggots watching us enjoy our gardens and yards, the fences aren't to keep criminals out.
Anthony Evans
shut up you idiot
Adrian Evans
I doubt normal fence can stop criminal to enter, if he wants.
Angel Green
>muh individualism, muh colorful maps
lmao, USA is just 330 million clones, one singular culture, people's political opinions are either A or B, there's only two political parties, everyone's house is the same or the neighborhood association sues you, you're just wealthier China
