Actually, there's even a name for that kind of hyperbolic misrepresentation of what someone else was saying so you can pretend their argument wasn't even valid.

Suggesting that cities aren't designed correctly is obviously implying that the solution is to redesign cities.

Redesigning entire cities is hard. It is not a reasonable thing to bring up, when talking about a policy regarding when school starts.

That is not hyperbole. Instead it is completely legitimate to dismiss someone suggesting that cities are designed poorly, because to fix such a problem would be a huge undertaking.
