Nah. Maybe you are fine living in a shoebox with 1,000 other people in a single building, but we shouldn't normalize it.

You're welcome to live however you want as long as you pay for it.

Right now you're forcing me to pay for your fetishes.

So 15 years ago, urban dwellers had higher incomes and therefore paid more income tax, and as a result there was a net flow towards rural areas. I wonder if they'd prefer to be paid less.

But the discussion was about suburbs. The number of people living in rural areas is by definition low enough to not be a meaningful concern.
