population density is much lower, so land is much cheaper, and multi story houses are harder to build.

so you just use more land for your house.

Also extreme weather is more common in the US. single story houses are more susceptible to this

    We're not exactly packed like sardines where I live but building up, unless health issues are a concern, is always the first thing considered, exactly to save clear ground area for other uses, regardless if building on 100m2 or 10 hectares.
