Or more accurately, they pay tax but poo poo their pants at the idea of raising it to a level that would pay for all the infrastructure they use, even within their own municipality. Modern American suburbia is an exercise in constantly shifting and spreading out the costs of building and maintaining it so nobody has to acknowledge how expensive it actually is.

I'm in the midwest and people definitely jaywalk a bunch in the actual cities here(and I can't fathom someone getting a ticket for it). Usually of the 'ped signal's red but there's no cars coming so gently caress it" variety, but we get people crossing mid-block too.Hadlock posted:We now live near a major church downtown and every Sunday I'll see people parking across the street and crossing with small children, mid-block, nearly getting run down, absolutely every week

I had to google it to figure out what the setup even is, since the angle+lack of signs in the pic isn't very useful & my american rear end has never seen one before. Apparently the idea is that only one direction of traffic at a time can go through these, so people turning onto slower streets are forced to slow down and possibly wait. People have also gotten semi trucks through without issue, so they're not that tight of a fit. I also found people theorizing that the car in this specific pic reversed onto it, which makes it an even dumber move than I expected.
