While I agree that sprawl is a bit issue and I'm a huge advocate of promoting better growth patterns (in fact my work relates directly to this), turning the issue into some sort of culture war between urbanites and suburbanites is not productive. Discussing actual solutions is productive. Many people choose living in new subdivisions for perfectly valid reasons. Given the choice, I'm sure many would prefer to live in better designed new communities that are more sustainable - that choice is very limited.
