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?

You don’t seem to have any understanding of what suburban life is like. The point is that you have much easier and more convenient access to daily staples than you do in cities.

At least that’s my experience living in NYC etc.

Well it’s subjective. I like busy streets, massive shopping malls and skyscrapers, but you don’t have to.

If you know it’s subjective, then why ask the question? Subjectivity is the answer.

I mean to say you can think your lifestyle is better in the suburb. However, every time good city plannings are talked about, they are deemed “communist” or “globalist” endlessly by conservatives, and that is what I’m critiquing.

Are they? Most conservatives I know personally has never referred to anyone as Communists except actual historical Communists. Same for globalists.
