Woods = Wood, which makes fire and good houses
Woods = Animals, which are good food if you cook them using fire.
Cleared Land (made by chopping down trees) = Good farmland (crops)
Yeah well
You've probably built houses before.
You don't have to live in the woods to go hunt in them. The animals might come into the city and run around there. (see: I am Legend)
Okay, well, maybe you'd move if you live in New York or some big city, but you don't have to live in the woods.
You Americans would probably all die of two inches of snow or something in the winter anyway.
