Why does Ponyboy idealize the country while he and Johnny look at the stars in chapter 4 of The Outsiders?

In chapter 3, Pony and Johnny lament their difficult lives as Greasers in a big town and Pony begins to dream about a better, peaceful life in the country as he is looking at the stars. Pony dreams about living out in the country away from the excitement and noise of the big towns. In the country, Pony images what it would be like reading a book peacefully by himself and owning a yellow dog. He also dreams about Sodapop having Mickey Mouse back and Darry losing his hard scowl. Pony also dreams about living in the country with his parents. Pony imagines his mother baking him a cake and his father spending quality time with Darry. He also dreams about inviting Dally up to the country and living with Johnny on the farm. Overall, Pony dreams about living in the country because the pastoral setting is tranquil and idyllic. In the country, Pony would not feel threatened by any Socs or unfairly judged because he is a Greaser.
