You are not trying to shut anything down, but spreading the arguments that are meaningless you don't exactly help the idea of walkable cities and distract from your own main point that different people need different things.

But if we return to your main point as you state it, it begs a question of how many people really want that different thing. I would say that this requires a research rather than a debate, but my guess is that the ones that want a house in the forest in the middle of nowhere are going to be a statistic outliers. The rest are going to likely be distributed normally between very dense and very sparse but most will likely fit into 15-minute city dense

That's right, because nimby is a word for people who want 15 minute cities. /s
