Re:Ask HN: Why are property limits so fuzzy in North America... by moralestapia on Tuesday July 12, 2022 @05:05PM (#32075685)
You're asking the question in the opposite way.

What is it that makes people in South America surround their houses with huge walls and fences?

Its like that elsewhere in the world as well. As with many other things, this seems to be a peculiarity of North America.

Also like I said, it doesn't have to (and often isn't) a huge wall. Often it is a low hedge or wildlife fence.

Not every place outside North America is a youknowwhat-hole. :)
