   Too bad for you and the other sardines.  I have a 30' * 40' four car
garage, with its own 100 A 240 VAC service. There is a 18' * 28' shop
building, and a 12' * 24' guesthouse behind the three bedroom house.
There are two 12' * 12' buildings as well. One is the laundry building,
and the other a small workshop.  A 6' * 10' potting shed is on the far
end of the guest house, and a 10' * 10' dog kennel behind the guesthouse
and shop buildings.  It's on a half acre, with the Florida Greenbelt
behind (Western side), and on the north side.  Places like this can
still be bought for under $100K in some areas of Florida.

  You could have the same for a reasonable price, if you lived in a
civilized country.

   Most people in the US DON'T have acres of land, idiot. More of your
vast ignorance of the US is showing.
