Someone downvoted you because redditors have statistically shit reading comprehension. Asking for an explanation is not a disagreement.
Few things are good about thin streets. They're easy for pedestrians to cross, they don't allow large amounts of car traffic, and they naturally slow down drivers who don't have the same visibility as wide open roads. They also allow denser construction so your doctor's office may be more streets away but it's a shorter walking distance.
