What does traffic have to do with living in the city? You don’t drive when you live in the city, the traffic is from people in the suburbs coming into the city - you’re already here there’s no reason to drive. 
Traffic has a lot to do with living in the city. I’m about 6 miles away from major destinations downtown. I mostly work remote, but when I go into the office, it’s about 7 miles away in one of the suburbs.
“What about the bus?” you might ask. Well, around here that’s kind of a sick joke. It works OK for commuting – but it turns my 15 minute drive into an hour on the bus with at least one transfer. And what if I’m trying to go to a party that a friend is hosting in the suburbs? In many cases, I’d have to arrange to stay overnight because bus service to that area just stops until morning.
So much walking, but in a good way. I used to work for the city doing IT work and would walk between most city buildings blocks apart, would put in like 7 miles a day.
That very much depends on the city. I live in Los Angeles. It’s giant, and most people have to do quite a bit of driving. My personal commute is only 15 minutes by surface streets, but almost everyone I know has to take the freeways. My doctor is 15 miles, and traffic can change that from 20 minutes into an hour and a half.
Even for not drivers traffic is anoying. It’s loud and takes way to much space. I like living in the city, but in the last few years I got realy anti cars. They have nothing to do in cities. If you live in rural areas ofcourse you need one, but the second there is a good public transport grid cars shouldn’t be allowed to drive there.

I think it’s funny that someone downvoted this comment, it’s spot on.

The city has too much traffic but you like walking…

I live in a city (sf) and I’m usually walking or occasionally bus/train. Traffic rarely affects my day-to-day life.
I think that’s the connection they’re pointing out, anyway - colored with my own experience of course.

Oh by no means do I disagree.
I meant- in a practical sense, my travel is not impeded by car traffic.
