That's very location-specific. Many cities are very pedestrian unfriendly, for example every city in India.

...yet one observes many people walking in those same cities. Curious.

Something can be unfriendly and almost impossible to relax during, while also capable of getting you places and probably not killed.

A lot of people are also walking around war zones such as in Aleppo. It doesn't make it safe, or something you'd want to do to relax.

This is an obnoxious comparison. Gaps in the sidewalk, open drains, etc. are annoying, but they don't threaten lives in the same way that e.g. barrel bombs do.

I don't like writing long posts on HN but there are a ton of reasons why it is very dangerous to walk around Indian cities at night due to risk of being hit by vehicles.

Hence the "or". If you can't walk, just lay down in peace for a bit or read a book.

Which is unsurprising, as the author is relating their personal experience of 'unplugging'.
