Most people prefer what they're already familiar with, especially when they've never experienced anything different.

Not much of a revelation.

Perhaps, but I think that a lot of USians have experienced something different without realising. Consider the medium density mixed use walkable situation that is Disney World or a cruise ship or a vacation in some beach town or in Venice, or even of many university campuses. I think familiarity with the language of urbanism is maybe as important as the experience of different types.
