They find food and shelter in the urban environment. Without animal control, their population would rapidly expand.

The far more interesting question is why don't coyotes attack humans? One time I was camping in a box canyon in southeast Texas and I got surrounded by at least 12 coyotes. I counted 12 sets of eyes reflecting from my fire. And they just watched me for 10 minutes and left. Yes they are 20 pound dogs and yes even a 90 pound woman could fight one off. But 12?

I swear to god that guy said he was a teacher but he was dumb as fuck. I lead him down a very, very straight forward argument that he absolutely could not get out of no matter how hard he tried and he agreed with everything I said only to just revert back to his original statement every fucking time. And then say "I'm trying to teach you." like he could offer me anything.

I had him in a box and his brain couldn't handle it. He would agree with everything until he realized that he was wrong and then just went back to the beginning statement. Why are people with PHDs so fucking stupid. Do they really think a couple extra years of studying makes them smarter than everyone else? It's just a piece of paper, you can't teach logical thinking apparently.

Just like the drugs I take. I get you down a fucking narrow path and you agree with it only to go back to your original statement when you realize that I'm right and you're wrong. You people can't accept that your pre-existing world views are based on lies and propaganda. It's like your brains reset themselves when you find out you're wrong and you just remain in denial.

Because they are afraid of humans. Same reason why bears generally stay away from humans even though they could easily kill a human without any effort

But the reason bears and cougars don't kill us all on the trail is habitat decline. I've literally never seen a brown bear in the wild despite hiking all over Idaho and Montana. But like I said I've literally been surrounded by at least a dozen coyotes. While cooking delicious meat.

maybe because they've been roaming those lands way before people set foot on them? so they just naturally go there only this time theres free food laying around everywhere

Pigeons are domesticated animals that only exist because of humans in the first place. So they get a pass.

Quick growth trees like oak, maple, and birch are planted in high density areas. Those threes attract squirrels. Coyotes love to eat Squirrels!

Not that interesting. First off, coyotes do attack people, just not that often. Coyotes don't like fucking with things when it will likely not go well for them. If you were in a box canyon, then even with 12 of them, they would not be able to surround you (typical hunting strategy for taking down larger prey), and they would not want to approach the fire. More than likely if you were cooking meat they probably saw you only as another predator or carnivore -- one that was bigger than they were but wasn't exhibiting any particular interest in them. There may have been twelve of them, but if they attacked a carnivore five to ten times their size head on, several could have been injured or killed, and that's not worth the risk.
Lots of predators work on a risk-reward basis. Adult humans are big enough to be on the riskier side of that calculation for most of them, with really only a very few predatory species being large enough to want to try to go after us. We're actually more at risk from skittish herbivores that see anything larger than a meerkat as being a danger when their reaction to a threat is to attack it.
