Reminds me of a quote by Alfred North Whitehead:

"Man's best thinking is done either by persons living in the country or in small communities, or else by those who, having had such environment in early life, enrich their experience by life in cities; for what is wanted is contact with the elemental processes of nature during those years of youth when the mind is being formed." - Alfred North Whitehead, source 'Dialogues of Alfred North Whitehead'

UsA cities used to be dirty and over polluted hence the utter dislike some writers had for cities.

Not to mention blacks, jews, and Irish.....
