As somebody said once, "when I get the urge to exercise, I lie down until it goes away" Living in a city environment and living three flights of stairs up (without and elevator) I get plenty of exercise. Fat folks live in the suburbs. They won't walk two blocks, nobody is on the sidewalks in the suburbs. Some suburbs give the feeling of death. But the city is alive and walking.

But the city is alive and walking. > Filthy buses, smog filled air, few trees, concrete as far as the eye can see, that's the city. People who live in the suburbs might have plenty of clean air, birds, trees, grass, wild animals wandering about, that sort of thing. I don't see what about that is giving you "the feeling of death".
