I did not realize living in one environment, such as an urban one; or living in another, say, rural locale, had anything to do with something as foundational as ideology (foundational may not be the best descriptor, but I could not conjure a better word). People who choose one over the other generally have PREFERENCES, based on utility; economics; 'comfort zone'; and/or other more-or-less practical considerations. 'Par exemple', (French: for example): I like rurality and so does my wife, but it is impractical from the standpoint of access to professional healthcare. We are older and things tend to breakdown---us included. Speaking for ourselves only, country living vs. city living is not an ideology in any way, shape or form. For those for whom it is so, I say bully and bravo for them! To anyone who feels bankrupted by Amazon: my sympathies.
