The logical endpoint of that is moving to the countryside where the TTS = 0, which is very easy to achieve. Begs the question, why are you even living in a city at all?!

You can enjoy living in a city but also enjoy outdoorsy pursuits. TTS is a measure of your ability to do both.

It can also be a measure of the maximum size of city you enjoy. There are people who like cities but still wouldn't want to live in NY/LA/London
