The European point of view is generally much different than the American point of view

 For example, most people I'm meeting now have lived where they are all their lives and families have owned their property for 300 years of more. Though it's true that many farmers in the U.S. are like this too, this is sort of going away in the U.S. because Inheritance taxes often take 50% of whatever it left forcing people to sell heirloom farms in order to pay the Inheritance taxes at around 50%. So, 300 year old farms in the U.S. are often forced to sell because of this problem whether they want to or not just to pay inheritance taxes to the U.S. Government.

And people are complaining that people from other countries are buying up the best land from the locals raising prices out of site. One property my son in law was telling me was now worth millions of dollars now because of this and it is just a really nice home out in the country surrounded by Mountains.
