Conservative anti-urbanism has always been in large part about social and sexual control, particularly of women. In small towns you can be shamed for having socially-unapproved sex. In a large, anonymous city with cheap housing, you can have multiple partners without judgment or social consequence.

In political philosophy we say that a person cannot choose to enter into a condition of slavery, because that would destroy the very autonomy that they would be using in making the choice
Death is, well, pretty similar in that regard!

the closest analogy to this for most Americans I think is 'how did you feel when it was decided Pluto wasn't a planet any more'
