- stronglikedan 7y agoI'm just saying that the same could be said for cities and rural areas, just different (and some same) harmful effects, which makes suburbanization a bad example. One is not worse than the other - it's just a different set of trade-offs. It's nice that we all don't have to cram into uncomfortable cities or suffer through the banalities of rural areas, if we don't want to.
