The "we are not the same" meme template, but here it says, "You want dense, walkable, transit-oriented cities because you love the vibrancy and convenience of urban life. I want dense, walkable, transit-oriented cities because I don't want endless suburbs to encroach on the peace and tranquility of rural life. We are natural allies."

I’m glad somebody gets it. Seeing and hearing other people and being seen and heard by them is uncomfortable for me.

Though an acre per house is still way, way, way too urban for me. My favorite home was over a mile down a dirt road and so far from anyone I didn’t see any other houses.

That felt safe.

Wait but this doesn't necessarily mean you disagree with the post? You can still be a pastralist and support dense cities as a way to preserve rural areas which is what the post implies...

Totally. But there’s lots of urbanists out there who think I’m crazy for not wanting to see other people.
