or perhaps bashing in a very wasteful lifestyle, narrowminded way of thinking, and unsutainable in the long run, when your choices to build strip malls, and drive everywhere with big trucks, contribute to global warming, geopolitical instability for the securing of oil, which affects people in the city as well.

Ah, and let's not mention all the money wasted in health care b/c of people in the suburbs, that move only by car, are more likeley to be living a sedentary life style, *being fat, and all the health problems that come with it.
