The same is true in Britain where the pressure has been on to make farms bigger and 'more competitive'. Family farms are going bust which is very sad. Farmers who own their land and work on it every day tend to look after their property in a kindly way, leaving space for other animals to live there with them. Huge farms owned by companies are run, like factories, just to make a profit. Wildlife and caring for the environment are not on the agenda.

And so it is with your house (or your room in your parents' house): you care for it because if you don't, you suffer if it falls down or gets really yukky. If you owned thousands of houses (or rooms) and rented them out to other people, nobody would much care for them.
