the exclusion of sidewalks is an extremely intentional segregation measure.

yeah but like isn't that super illegal under cuban law because most stuff remains owned by the state? like in the us maybe you pay a fine for illegally renting out your apartment but im pretty sure cuba should send you to jail for it for violating communism or smth

we have really nice sidewalks and bike paths and stuff in the rich neighborhoods and everywhere else you're lucky to get the 1ft road shoulder.

also in my parents' town they mandated that new businesses had to have sidewalks in front of them but nobody bothered to add in anything about connecting them so now there's just 100ft stretches of sidewalks in front of new buildings that just end and then nothing for a mile and then another one.

if youre building a community away from the city for the sole purpose of not having to see poors except when you drive to your job in the city, sidewalks seem like one of those money-saving corners you can cut because everyone living there is expected to have a car anyway

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

whats the over/under on those people not even living in the city

considering this kinds of people who would be up in arms about green spaces and walkability in streets, pretty high I bet. these types don't live in Pittsburgh to avoid paying city income tax and are vocal about it. scumbags.

hell, Pittsburgh's mayor just made an executive decree that any new streets built must be walkable and include green space, and people are up in arms over that.

speaking of Peoria, that city is rebuilding part of it's downtown to be more walkable and lots of people that live outside of it that i know are complaining about it. boo hoo, i can't drive straight through downtown anymore :qq:
