      In a lot of neighborhoods in the US, you have to cross major, high-traffic streets to get to a fairly small public park.

        Do you suppose a yard is an option in those same areas?

          Yes. I live in one such area, in a city of many of them.

            So it’s in a major city that also has heavy traffic, but also enough space for houses with spacious yards?

              That’s why it has traffic, because it was built for low density.

                So the suburbs. Not a major city at all.

                  What do you mean? Almost every major city has suburbs (at least in my country). I live in one of the top ten most populous cities in the US and I live in the suburbs.

                    Do you think the municipalities that surround major cities exist as part of the city? Is Brookfield ‘Chicago’? Is Ferndale ‘Detroit’? Is Long Island ‘New York City’? Is Somerville ‘Boston’?

        Then that is less of a city and more dystopian urban sprawl pretending to be a city.
