Why Downtown Tornados Are Rare

There may be some enviromental causation- I have no idea- I know nothing of meterology... but I think most of the reason of rare downtown tornados is just chance.

Consider all the land in tornado alley, and then the very small comparable amount of downtown land. The downtown areas represent a fraction of 1% of the total land... so thus just by chance/math we don't see as many tornadoes in downtown areas.
