You talked about flying over cities. So, my question is given that you
don't know what "undue hazard means", why do you say that everyone
flying over cities are in violation of the 91.119(a)?

We don't know for sure - but it's reasonable to assume that flying over
a place where the only outlanding options are densely populated with
people or people driving cars would, if your engine quit, cause an undue
hazard to these people.

What the FAA decides is ultimately very difficult to know. For some
violations, it attacks with zeal. For others, it simply turns a blind
eye even though it would be reasonable to argue that the reg was
violated.
