I'm sure there are plenty of people, who, regardless of how well functioning a city is, don't want to live in one. Myself included.

Absolutely. It’s just the very anti city people never ever seem to use excuses that are actually valid.

Like if “the things that brings me most joy in life require owning lots of land” or “I don’t like people and every day I have to be near them drains me”, those are really valid reasons and there are many more.

What that tells me is either they have a caricature of cities in their head, or (more likely) being anti city is an identity and not based on anything actually about cities per-say.
