That's because it's basically the only city where he's an effective crime fighter. You can't have Spiderman in low-density suburbs with single family homes. Nothing to swing on.

Rural Spider-Man has prevented many farm accidents with his sticky web. He just misses 98% of the incidents due to commute times and sells few comics, but If you’re within 100 feet of a silo you’re good.

Ironic as Peter Parker is from Forest Hills and not the part near tall buildings nor elevated trains.

Uncle Ben, Aunt May and young Peter Parker lived at 20 Ingram Street in Forest Hills Gardens.

But the 2000 movie where he starts to swing and smack to a wall, that's at Sunnyside

Granted, I'm bias, but if Spider-Man came sprinting at you right out of a cornfield, you would shit your rural pants.

swinging ain’t a problem tbh, he can probably easily outrun cars

He slingshots, using his webs.
He's done it before in comics and he did it during civil war when they fought in the airfield.
He shoots webs on either side and stretches them and I'd imagine he'd just do that over and over really fast and gain intertia.

This is funny but he can lift like 10 tons is incredibly fast and agile a genius and his webbing has the tensile strength of steel. He’s fine fighting crime anywhere.
