I'm beginning to think this is the case with me.

Remember that up until age 9, I thought places were strange if they weren't full of graffiti, houses that were almost falling down, and actually had clean streets. That's because I saw such things most days of my life, and accepted them as the norm. Early childhood development having an effect for one's whole life?

No, but assuming what you're comfortable with, is better, is.

Doesn't that work both ways?

You mean, assuming that it's worse?

Well...yes...

No, I mean people comfortable with lily-white suburbia type places assuming that it's better than blighted places. Dazzleman obviously did this.

If that's the only reason, I guess so, but to be fair Dazzleman provided plenty of reasons.  Far beyond "I like the way it looks because I'm used to it..."

No, of course not. (Doesn't mean it's strange not to, though.)
