I certainly don't unless I am in a twin.
And it all depends where you are and where you want to go even in the Highlands we have to skirt round flying over a city not a big one mind its just the fact that its bang in the way of going from the airport to one of the major scenic attractions in the area ie the Great Glen.
Some airports who have been surrounded by houses you just can;t if you want to land there. Then local procedures force you low VFR to keep you under the IFR inbounds.
Tiz a good job that engine failure is a very unlikely event.
