Because the infrastructure spend and land allocation is not evenly spread. In most places, there is a dedicated lane for cars heading each way, possibly with parking or at least a decent shoulder on either side of the road.
The same cannot be said for sidewalks and bike lanes, which may be non-existent or poorly maintained, and certainly never take precedence over the almighty asphalt.

- c22 4y agoI agree that we should build sidewalks and (protected) bike lanes to go everywhere cars can go. If we do this, I still expect it to cost less than the corresponding road network built for cars. I also don't think in this utopian hypothetical that people would choose to drive their car every time simply because the road cost more.
