The US has the space for it if someone could figure out the legal infrastructure to be able to gatekeep. Co-ops are how the wealthy keep the riff-raff out of their housing communities; I don't know if one could buy an entire town in the Midwest, convert it into a co-op, and apply that same model to someone moving there.
It'd be great if there was a Western nation doing that.
