IMHO saying that “car culture -> less people walking -> more crime -> more fear -> less kids on the streets” is a bit of a stretch.

That's not the claim. The claim is “car culture -> less people walking -> more crime -> more fear -> less kids on the streets.” The perception matters; the reality doesn't.

    More people from more walks of life (pun intended) on the street probably does reduce some types of crime, though. You're not going to be mugged on the street outside two busy restaurants and a record shop with a bunch of other people walking around.
