It's ok, the actual real reason urbanites live in the city is for the jobs, and for all the other people they know there, that are also there for jobs.

That said green belts are great for stopping urban sprawl. They don't extend indefinitely though and they certainly don't uproot existing small towns/villages.

I try to live in urban areas because walkability measurably improves my health in every metric.

To be honest I was mostly trying to reassure the reactionary urbanite-hater that we aren't trying to take their stuff.
