Strange, I pull up downtown Denver and I see like 20 parks within a square mile.

However, this kind of whataboutism illustrates my point. There's a near infinite number of places humans can congregate to enjoy each other's company. It can be a park or a coffee shop or a pub or your kitchen table for tea.

The fact that none of these are suitable demonstrates that the desire to get together is not there.

Can poor people afford to live there? In Europe poor neighborhoods has that as well, so everyone can get that if they want.

yeah, there are also open spaces and shops in the suburbs and country outside of urban centers.

> "downtown Denver"

downtown Denver can house minuscule part of the population of the Denver metro area - only those affluent enough to afford it. America (again) is not downtown Denver or downtown SF or downtown anything...
