Am I the only one who thinks this title is a bit click-baity? What does shade, engagement, and separation from car traffic have to do with dignity?

- 8organicbits 2y agoWhen the environment a walker needs to travel is hostile, unsafe, or uncomfortable for them it lacks dignity. A more respectfully planned urban environment gives walkers safety, comfort, and enjoyment.
- dh2022 2y agoWith this logic anything impacts dignity. Making everything a micro-aggression is en-vogue these days, so go it makes sense to have click-bait titles.
- supertrope 2y agoIn high status areas the local government and landlords are much more likely to plant street trees to ensure dismounted people can comfortably walk. In neglected areas there are less trees and the sidewalk is crumbling or abruptly ends. If SUVs are speeding along at 54 MPH right next to the sidewalk, their wind hits you, their noise hits you, and some asshole drivers intentionally drive over puddles in an attempt to splash pedestrians.
