I believe, the solution to that is more parks.

Supplementary solution: abolish billboards and oversized/tall signposts.

Hawaii did this, and it looks amazing. Other states have banned billboards too.

This actually does seem to work. Vancouver has a LOT of parks, and I don't find them crowded or underutilized. It's a nice balance where there are people to talk to but you can find your own quiet spot too

Apparently we have 250 parks, making up 11% of Vancouver's land mass

Yeah look at my city on a map, Victoria BC. Like half the city is green space and I can easily find solitude.
