- smallnamespace 6y agoAs a suburban kid I walked a few miles a day to school and back and so did a good number of classmates. It would have been far more dangerous without sidewalks.
- scrose 6y agoThe thought process of your post forms a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course if you build with only a single mode of transport in mind, the majority of people will opt towards that mode of transportation. Unfortunately, many suburbs and small cities have made that mistake and also chose the most expensive mode, hence the article.
