It seems the US Americans have been teaching children that surburbia is good and urbanism is bad ever since 1952. Thanks alot!
"The best place to find peace and happiness is in a little house on a little hill way out in the country." I daresay this is how most architects, at least in Norway, still think, 82 years after the death of Ebenezer Howard and 45 years after the death of Le Corbusier. Let lawns and fresh air save the morale of the working classes!

PS. Wikipedia has a short article on the fallacy called "Appeal to novelty". Have a look.
