Do you have evidence? I have the evidence of millions of people and the demand for downtowns. Otherwise, you possibly are assuming that people must feel like you do.

Nope. People in general prefer to avoid large and dense cities ( https://afry.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/new-survey-shows... ).

It's just that only the US offers an affordable option to live in spacious suburbs. Europe simply doesn't have anything similar.
