What ever happened to sidewalks?

[Shibby]

I'm sure you city dweller don't know what I'm talking about :) but in the suburbs there are very few sidewalks and the ones there are only cover like a 50 yard stretch.

And people wonder why we are so fat as a nation... the development of the car-friendly and pedestrian-unfriendly suburb in the 1950s as the preferred residential area is an American disaster story, something that we are going to paying dearly for many years to come.

we have plenty of sidewalks around my house. up and down the main street my neighborhood is off of has them with wide enough shoulders so that people can ride their bikes.

We have a few sidewalks here, especially in our neighorhood. Once you get out, no more sidewalks.

Most new developments cut out side walks. they take up to much space and cost more for the concrete. My neighborhood has side walks only on 1 side, I made sure I bought on that side. You will also notice neighborhood streets are getting more narrow. Its all about space and the more the builder can save the more houses he can build witch equales the more cash he makes.

The comunity next to mine is on a golf coarse. the have zero side walks narrow streets where 2 cars can squeeze by each other. no parking in front of your house. To top it off the houses are way to close to each other. LOL, they used to go for a mill now you can get one for 500K or less

strangly all the old neighborhoods do not have sidewalks, and all the new ones have a side walk on one side. Also my city, it is more like a giant suburb, says you must have at least one acre of land to build a house, that is nice it keeps the population down.

Sidewalks are unattractive, never had one in my area. Plenty of sidewalks at the shore tho.
