It's not relatively close at all. It's about as far as you can get within the current area of built-up stuff from spawn. The whole area to the north and east of spawn - right next to spawn, going in that direction, is completely empty. And being close to spawn brings no benefit anyway, so is beside the point.

Seriously? Why?

and like I said it comes across very elitist. It's kinda like you can't build here because I said so, so there!
How is it by any stretch of the imagination elitist? Seriously - I'm actually asking.
It's not about 'you can't build here because I said so', it's about 'oh there's something already here, so rather than build next to someone else in the 5% of occupied land yet discovered, how about I either ask if they mind or build in the 95% of empty fucking land'.

I agree that as a new builder I should be considerate of other people's future plans, but that's not easy
It's pretty fucking easy really.
I'll do a helpful and beautiful diagram.
