In the US, I get the sense that people are scared to let their kids play outdoors, unless it is their own property, is that the case? We do have a yard now, but when in an apartment, we had tiny playgrounds and forests around that the kids could play in safely.

We were lucky - we got our place signed the week before lockdowns started.

When it comes to building and expanding, if the ability to increase the finances is faster than the increase in the house prices, doesn't it make sense to keep building?
