I think the marketing for the suburbs is better. The BIGGER NUMBER is a very powerful tool in the human mind and they achieve this via the MORE SPACE argument. You see this in marketing almost any and all products, even products where it doesn't make sense like mouse dpi BIGGER NUMBER = BETTER which isn't even strictly true.

Communists are bad at marketing because many despise its very existence but it is one of the most important things we need to be good at. The capitalists on the other hand love marketing and the capitalist profit system incentivises putting more resources into it than anything else which feeds back into how their extremely strong marketing skills have successfully harmed communist movements so many times.
