It's precisely because this is my field (public built environments) that I'm so skeptical of claims based on dubious statistical relationships. I'm willing to be convinced, of course, but if you had to go into a meeting with public officials and make suggestions, these are the sorts of questions you should be expecting. I am not convinced by the public health angle, so far, anyway.
