Think 7 is false.
Yes a bunch of international organizations criticize BA because apparently it has less than 2 square metres of green space per inhabitant, but the rankings I've seen seem very arbitrary. Bogota for example is supposed to be one of the worst cities for green space, yet it has a huge green mountain right next to the city that anyone with the legs for it can walk up, Similarly, Buenos Aires has all the open space of the Parana Delta just a train ride from the centre of the city.
 
I would say that the city is a bit short on green space just judging by the sheer quantity of people in the parks on any day.
Can’t move sometimes, maybe it’s also because of the amount of small flats that people live in that have no outside space,
