That's not a great place for a compressor, direct exposure to the weather means they are unable to exchange heat as efficiently. Why'd they put it up there?

A sprawling yard to put things on is a very american thing.

It could be a thing for any rural house in countries that have the land for it.

You and the commenter above are blowing my mind. How much land do you think an HVAC unit requires?! You simply install it on the north side of the house/apartment/whatever, out of the sun.

I know it doesn't require much land, but there isn't any land available in population dense areas. Roof installations would be required for row houses and situations like that.

Sure, if you're downtown or something, but my understanding is that most people don't live downtown, but instead just outside of urban areas.

The OP is about a different country, it's possible 'most people' in that place do live 'downtown'. But even if it's not most, still there's a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations.

Sure. I can't really place where they're from given the picture, but I'm guessing something in the Americas south of the US? If so, there's probably plenty of space.

But yeah, it's possible, I just think in many areas, a meter square pad is doable.

Yes, but the vast majority of Europeans are not rural -- and unlike Americans, they aren't suburban, either.
