Why is the American dream so different from reality?

I can't find any photos on the internet, so I'll take one tomorrow of an average suburban Melbourne, Australia street. You'll notice the fences. Through movies and literature, you'll be aware that the American Dream, as described in most literature (for example The Great Gatsby) is to live in a big nice house in the suburbs with a big front lawn, fancy clothing, a white picket fence, and 2.5 children. Yet you look in most American movies, you mofo's hardly ever have front fences!!!! Seriously........ wtf is wrong with you lot, and why are you so against, having front fences? It's hard to find a suburban street scape photo with detail on the internet, but one thing that gives it away - every shot with houses with front fences has cars parked on the left side of the road, so it damn ain't America. It's always bugged me, and I know you're a closed lot, assuming around 75% of you don't have passports, but you're streets look very different to ours in all the mainstream media put to us. By you and your media!!! It sounds odd hearing a non-American accent on television because of that. The thing is, everywhere else realises that they aren't the centre (not center!), of the Earth. I remember when I was in L.A, we asked to go to Orange County, and the cab driver told us that he'd never been outside his county before. It was like a 20 minute drive!!! In Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, you could drive from say Werribee in the west, for about 2 hours, and still be in Melbourne's east. You lot are weird in lots of ways, but ignoring that, I still ask the question...

The American dream includes picket fences, why don't you guys have them???
