The last time I went to America we arrived by plane during the night. I saw the lights of Seattle going from horizon to horizon (at least thats what it looked like) and I thought: My god that city is SPREAD OUT. In Europe (I'm not sure if this is Europe in general or just Germany and bordering countries) cities are a lot more COMPRESSED. Germany is somewhat on the crowded side (Germany is about the size of Montana, which has 700000 inhabitants. Germany has ~89 million inhabitants, more or less.) I have never been to Signapore or Australia, but I agree that the US seems like a waste of space to me and many Europeans that I know, because we are used to living in crowded countries.
