Okay, so it turns out I was wrong. Apologies. However, everything else I said still applies. They can't risk civil unrest and violence, it would be disasterous for the rebellion's image. Now what about Riften? Sure there the Dunmer and Argonians seem to get along fine but in Windhelm it's different:

A) The Dunmer, as explained before, seem to believe that it's the Nord's job to look after the GQ, which it isn't, and because of this the GQ is a slum. They are unhappy as it's a slum.

B) Because of that racist Tobjorn, the Argonians get paid very little. This makes most of them unhappy.

Now if the Argonians and Dunmer living there, don't get along and don't enjoy living there in general aren't they much more likely to become violent? It's a simple logic. This hostility is backed up by ''"I wish the Nords, Argonians and dark elves in Windhelm got along better." It's a sad situation I agree, but you can't just say it's Ulfric's fault and he's a racist.  ''

Now about being close to water, and fresh air I have two quotes to prove that they like this.
