Cities themselves are not inherently bad; it is just that humans congregate in them. Urban humans do not contribute any more waste on a per capita basis than rural folk do.

Critical thinking one, what is the difference between many animals in one place and many humans in one place? It's not inherently bad, right?

As to the waste issue isn't it far easier to regulate and deal with waste when it's all contained by the city? Then it can be funneled to a treatment plant and handled versus those rural folk dealing with it on an individual basis. Hell some of those heathens go out their back door and piss on trees! Talk about run off.

It is essential that humans relieve themselves in some fashion.

True. And it is also essential that cattle relieve themselves in some fashion. And swine. And poultry. But when they do it, we tend to call it pollution.
