Selfish/narrow-minded, I don't know? Maybe you are... It's like me turning up my nose at fat people, I choose to live a certain way and fat/unhealthy people annoy me so I'm going to be all smug towards them and feel a greater self worth becuase I'm feeling like I do something better than them. I don't do that... I think being like that would indicate I'm the one with a problem, not others.

Well, I can't tell for sure, but if your view here is that people in the core should subsidize the cost of maintaining the vast amount of burbs, then yea, that's textbook selfish. And comparing that to turning up your nose at fat people then I'm not sure you completely understand the issue here.
