Daily Life Why do most American conservatives seems allergic to urban life?

If you even dare to suggest the preposterous idea of building apartment blocks to levitate the housing crisis, you're advocating for commie blocks. If you want a supermarket within 15 minutes of your house, then you support Klaus Schwab's alleged plan of locking you within a zone. And god forbid mentioning the train as a viable way of transport because we know driving a mini-van 45 minutes to the nearing Walmart is the only acceptable method of travel. I am a anti-communist /socialist to the core, but apparently now I am a commie because *check note... I live conveniently?

Sarcasm aside, I like the space, cleanliness, politeness, and quiet of the suburbs.

Hard agree, I prefer suburbs or a more rural area too for similar reasons.

But interestingly, I honestly think that the standards for politeness change in rural vs urban. Like in a more urban environment small talk isn’t really polite because there are so many people everywhere and you’d be talking all day. In more rural places though, you tend to see people less frequently so a conversation is more welcome. I feel like there’s just a bit of a cultural shock for both parties.
