    Someone has made an interesting statistic. Modern Americans generally have to move at least seven or eight times, and more than ten or twenty times. The average person moves 12 times, which is the highest in the world. From a historical and cultural point of view, the United States is a country of immigrants. Except for a few indigenous Indians who are natives, 99% of Americans are descendants of immigrants. In the United States, there have been great migrations to develop the west in history, and it is more common to move from one state to another. Affected by these, Americans have a weak sense of settlement, and their sense of residence is more like nomads who live by water and grass. They are always happy with changes and new experiences, and are rarely satisfied with the status quo. Therefore, the moving scenario of moving the house together in the United States will often appear. If you want to distinguish who is rich and who is poor, then look at their house structure. The houses of the rich are all cement brick and tile structures with basements.
