Why do it if it's not fun?

I seem to remember a very obscure case where one of the low-flying rules (the 1500' rule?) over a built-up area doesn't apply when flying SVFR - so there was one particular case when the cloud-base is low but the visibility good, where you could use SVFR to fly over a built-up area that you wouldn't be able to fly over VFR?

I really ought to know this, but it's so obscure I didn't make any effort to remember the details. And I don't know if it still applies now that the low-flying rules have been revised and there is no longer a 1500' rule. Does anyone know what it is I'm thinking of, and can you fill in the details???
