What would you dislike about it? It's not like they're actively irritating to other people.

In fact, they're largely responsible for the great restaurants, coffee shops, music venues, and street art in cities that people value when they're looking for somewhere to live.

Only a very narrow segment of the population values those things when looking for somewhere to live. Expand your perspective.

Are you kidding? Why have people been urbanizing for the last few decades? Why do people value walkability? Why are small towns and rural communities losing population, even when people are able to work remotely? Why is all the most expensive real estate close to these things?

If you look at literally any research on the topic, the exact opposite is true. Only a small segment of people don't care about those factors[1]. Do you have any data to back up your assertion, or is it just your enlightened perspective that you're basing this on?

> Expand your perspective.

Expand your ability to make an argument other than implying that someone else is ignorant. That's a childish way to avoid actually supporting your argument. You have no idea where I grew up, where I live now, or what my perspective is.

People aren't automatically ignorant because they disagree with what your gut says or your own personal preferences.
