If you've got a bone to pick with planners, then you're drawing the wrong distinction.
They don't care about rural/farm vs urban/business.
They care about tax revenue and voters.
It's always going to be an uphill battle making the argument that $ tax revenue / acre farmland is more important than $$$ tax revenue / acre sub/urban use. And due to density that farmland represents one family of voters vs the >1 an equivalent urban footprint would impact.
