You all have so much space, but how you choose to use it is a bit disappointing. There is no shared space. No bike lanes, ok, I understand that, but in most places in town, there aren't even side walks. No town squares, no city parks, just endless rows of little castles, accessible only by car. Crossing the street on foot is illegal. Even to go running or cycling, I'd have to drive somewhere first.
There are enough things to like, but this aspect is something I'll never get used to.

These ideas seem to be gradually fading, even in the small town where I live there's a big project up to add bicycle lanes and improve sidewalks.[0] [0]: http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2017/02/easthampton_to_compete_for_fed.html http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2017/02/easthampton_t...
