civilised countries have sidewalks. it's what separates us from animals. and some americans by the sounds of it
I'd bet that due to the historical inbreeding in Europe that their are dipshits everywhere roaming the streets that need a specific lane to walk in. Otherwise you idiots would be constantly smashing into the morons lumbering into traffic.
I think it's just because America is huge and they don't consider walking that much. Not a dig Gramps, but when I was in Texas I asked for the local shop and they said "just down the road" and I walked for 3 miles and still didn't get to it.
Donny hit it on the head. Our country is yuuge. We have a lot of room to spread out. Our shops and restaurants may be several miles down the road. We all have vehicles. Walking to the store isn't what it is in Europe.
However, most neighborhoods do have sidewalks, regardless. Mostly the lower class areas skimp out on laying sidewalks...

There is some truth to that. But on low traveled side streets we don't have sidewalks because they aren't necessary. People walk or ride their bikes on edge of the road and cars go around. Not a big deal really. But semenstain has to be upset at something.

pretty much this. it's either local government starved of funds because conservatives, or it's a way of saying "mehhh, this won't be around for long anyway. it's where the hurricanes vacation"
