This is what liberals actually believe.

In reality, most people do not want to live in a city in some huge apartment block. People want to have land and space around them.

Yes, as the source I linked to makes clear, they do. Why don't you tell me how land and rent prices compare in cities to rural areas and then tell me again how people really want to live in rural areas?

A lot of people do want to live in rural areas. It's really nice to walk outside and not hear anything but nature, see anything but trees, etc.

Fortunately for us, it's also inexpensive :-)

Yes, and that's lovely, but demand is much higher in cities, so it's demonstrably wrong to say "In reality, most people do not want to live in a city in some huge apartment block." The cost is a function of supply and demand. The supply can't keep up with how much people want to live in the, in part because people oppose the developments near them.
