I'm really not sure why anyone is on the side of subsidized urban sprawl, to be honest. Even those of us with 2.4 kids that live in the burbs don't want sprawl to be subsidized, because removing the subsidization will probably reduce the amount of available suburb options, and probably increase the value of my home. Not to mention the fact that I'm currently paying to subsidize this growth that I'm not benefitting from in the least.
Honestly, I think a lot (most?) of it is the fact that the developers fund the media who in turn delivers the developers' message, which is then digested by the common man.
