I've spent time in rural areas and understand perfectly well why people want to live there, despite currently living in an urban area. Stubborn, self-satisfied inability to understand lifestyles different than your own is poison to political analysis in particular

He's making conversation in regards to that hot take about Iowa from a New Yorker. You just did the same thing based on his hot take. People are expressing their opinions!

I happen to think the exact opposite. I lived in suburbia and I found it to be a miserable soulless place. A book and TED talk by James Howard Kuntsler was able to articulate exactly how I felt

Suburbia is terrible. Rural>city>homeless>suburbia

It's an opinion. Like I don't understand how anyone doesn't love poptarts and Diet Coke for breakfast. Nothing myopic about it.

Heard of the “environmental sink”? Lab rats, given the choice, prefer crowding together over more open spaces. Apparently, they like the added stimulation of “city” life. As most people do.

Give me a somewhat rural house with a big yard. 10 minute drive to shopping areas. 40-50 minute drive to a mid sized city. That'd be about the ideal. Manassas, 30 miles out of DC, has areas that fit this description.
