Re:Why does the USA use 110V and UK use 230-240V? by malermeister on Tuesday August 29, 2023 @03:59PM (#37313086)
I can't talk about Finland, but in Central Europe it's pretty common as there is a culture of house building.

In the US, a developer typically buys an entire neighborhood's worth of land and builds a bunch of houses there to sell to individuals.

Over here, the individuals will typically buy their own small plot of land and then have a house built there according to their specifications. You need to be able to run heavy construction equipment to do so.
