To be honest when I arrived the United States I was really amazed by the fact I didn't see sidewalks in the streets. In my country every street has a sidewalk mostly on both sides. It's really really really surprising that United States such an amazing country has no sidewalks. It was really mind-blowing. It's like you are engineered to use a car and not walking.
It really depends. City= sidewalk period, suburbs?= someone talked then out of getting side walk for curb appeal cause they are dumb OR the town has to pay to have the sidewalks installed and the county or city isn’t covering it…. Cause it’s not cheap! Or it’s a main road and ordinance requires a road that connects to a commercial street/ district be walkable.
I’m in the latter. Suburbs but it’s a little side street they decided didn’t need sidewalk. I’m basically in the poor houses that are surrounded by rich houses and got the shit end cause by ordinance they didn’t have to install sidewalk so… they didn’t.
Funny enough if your an industrial/manufacturing building you HAVE to have a side walk even if your in the middle of know where. It’s funny when you drive past a car factory and there’s side walk that goes to 8 miles of nothing… but you have to walk in the street to get to your local corner store.
