Talk about having an opinion that over half the U.S. population in behavior (and likely a hell of a lot more) simply don't share. The suburbs when done well, and especially now with the promise of solar and electric vehicles is a wonderful place to be. Wonderful even when done imperfectly. Why would you want urban if you could have greenery? Why would you want close quarters when you could have space? Why would you want loud and bright when you can have peace and quiet.
When I walk the urban downtown area, sure there are food vendor smells, but there is also inescapable rotting sewer smell in the streets. When I walk the suburbs, I smell fresh air. I see the greenery that was planted by the people who enjoy the extra space to have freedom to do so. Distribution of the population is a great thing for a lot of health reasons, even if it's supposedly less efficient for travel to work. The more companies get their head out of their ass, the less driving people will have to do anyway.
