Billions of flies love shit. Just saying. 😁
But more seriously: if people have been conditioned from early years to desire suburban living, this is what they will desire. I am not judging if it is right or wrong.
This illustrates my point really. Shit matches the nutritional requirements of flies and provides a perfect incubator and food source for their larvae. It's fine that you personally do not love shit, but it's arrogance to suggest that flies must have been conditioned to love shit just because you personally do not.
I disagree that conditioning influences peoples choice of lifestyle. There's no evidence of that, it's just supposition. I'll stand by my original point which is simply that people like living in suburbia because it's a balance of space, convenience, and cost. When you hear the sound of hooves, think horses, not zebras.
That's simply a fact. You have been brainwashed from the youngest years to desire suburban living, the same as for example USians were brainwashed to belive that cities should be built in a way for cars to become a necessity.
This is so tedious. Feel free to continue believing that everyone who has different lifestyle preferences than yours has been brainwashed.
