Because I think that reducing freedom to a mere lack of social interference (whether state, corporate, or merely the cultural norms of high-density living) is oversimplistic and unhelpful.
Freedom is fundamentally about being able to do stuff, and in that regard high density living offers as many advantages as disadvantages. That goes double for people like me who don’t own a car.
Sure, I have to accommodate the needs and desires of a much greater number of people, but it is also these same people who facilitate the things I’d like to do in life.
