The desirability of having your own backyard/frontyard, even if was only 10 feet x 10 feet, became much more evident during lockdowns. Reflexive anti-urbanism is in part probably simply the extremism you find on social media, but it does in part reflect what has happened this decade with lockdowns, encampments, and other urban problems.
Indeed, I can respect that reply. Did read some comments per "if you're going to be trapped in your own, a little suburban castle doesn't seem so bad" (unless you could leap for that country estate).
This interview about lockdowns in developing countries touches on this issue. Especially 6 to 10 minutes in, with some descriptions of countries where kids and families living in slums were ordered to stay in their dwelling for months on end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auckvpL7uZk
