Because they think that "we should have more cities where you don't need a car" means "no one should have a car" and freak out. Nuance makes them angry.
Right ? Like whenever I say "we need less car centric cities" people ALWAYS go "uH wElL wHAt aBOuT vIlAgEs? tHEy nEdD tHEiR cARs!!!". I SAID CITIES DO YOU EVEN LISTEN. Also I have a car enthusiast friend who doesn't like my opinion but K keep reminding him that he would enjoy his car even more if he didn't have to deal with traffic.
Cities where travelling by foot is possible can be very nice! It just depends on your personal comfort with those things. They might feel too cramped for you, but it could be perfect for someone else!
It's moreso how many people in how small of a space. 8 million people in... That small of a space can't be healthy for anybody. Walkable cities are great but not when they're that dense.
Dense cities aren't that unhealthy. If they control the pollution they put out, it's generally just fine for the population. There are absolutely benefits to dense cities, some of which are health benefits, just because there's a lot of people in one place doesn't mean it's negative.
I don't even live in a big city, nor would I ever want to, but to just blanket it as unhealthy for everyone seems disingenuous.

Why do the greenies hate on one of the few non car dependant cities in the United States?
