The argument is you can’t have cities without rural areas supplying what they need.

To disprove that you need cities that are self-sufficient.

Subsidies don’t matter in that question.

Uhh no, who was arguing that you can have cities without anyone in rural areas? This just looks like another ridiculous straw man.

That says nothing about there being nobody in rural areas, just fewer people, and it being an unsustainable welfare state obviously refers to the current subsidies.

So yeah, it was a straw man on your part.
