Not even close to being untrue. I've listened to a lot of conservatives being anti-sidewalks growing up, complaining how sidewalks aided criminals.
I'm sorry, I'm not pretending to be stupid to challenge you, or challenging the notion at all, but could you please elaborate on what that "logic" is?
I just don't see a correlation honestly. Unless it's the same as like "universal healthcare helps criminals" in the sense that yeah, it's universal, it's also for criminals, but eveyone is helped by it, so... I... I fail how they could've even began to argue such a point.
But I know lots of conservatives are irrational dumbfucks who don't actually even understand what "logic" means.
Dense population attracts crime, dense population allows for more walking and cycling infrastructure. The coincidence of those two facts makes people think that walking and cycling infrastructure causes an increase in crime. Those people are confusing correlation and causation
