This is very easy to disprove: houses and apartments in urban areas cost more than in the suburbs.
Most people are not able to afford a large enough apartment downtown because there is not enough supply, and so they prefer to pay the same for a larger place in the suburbs, but this is not the same as preferring the suburbs.
- rdtwo 5y agoIt’s simply easier to manage problems in suburbia because smaller cities are more efficient and have lower overhead. You can create semi private public schools through high property prices and zoning. You can kick homeless people out. You can mostly manage a 5-10 person police force And really you can create zones where people are mostly like you what ever that likeness may be. Some would say that shouldn’t be allowed but you can see the appeal.

Demand for housing in cities is high relative to the supply of housing in cities. That doesn’t mean that the demand for urban housing is more than the demand for suburban housing—because the supply of the latter is vastly larger.
