American zoning forbids taller ~6 story residential building and trades open green space parks for shorter, 1-2 story buildings. The lower density means people are further away from the few parks that do exist too.

Are zoning laws in the United States at the federal level? Or by township and city?

Does every city in America have the rules you mention, or specific ones?
