You're forgetting that Americans have been brainwashed to think that large tracts of unproductive land with zero biological diversity is a flex. And no one wants to be seen as some poor with bugs in their yard.

large tracts of unproductive land with zero biological diversity is a flex.

You're right. It was absolutely a flex hundreds of years ago, for places like freaking Versailles. And we're all living like little kings out here, complete with turning a blind eye to disastrous effect.

Meanwhile my Chinese neighbors are hard at work cultivating every last scrap of land they own. It's kind of amazing.
