Sounds a bit like a lefty who hates urban sprawl argument. This person hates it because of the loss of rural community, lefties hate it because of the loss of the inner city life.

Lots of people say they hate urban sprawl, but everybody is moving there!! I don't get it.

Personally I'm a rural guy, moved away from the city and the suburbs. Live on the farm. Intend to keep it that way. If the suburb moves closer, I'll move out further.

Just because you are sickened by urban sprawl and the loss of community, that does not make you a lefty.

Will conservatives be happy when we pave every inch of America?

Fred is anything but a lefty. He just does not buy into "theoretic conservatism."

"Sprawl" is just a euphemism for government control.

Urban planners won't be happy until everyone lives downtown in Tokyo-style highrises and commutes to work by public transportation. Oh, yeah, don't forget the organic garden on the 3' by 4' balcony.
