I am astonished at how much sidewalks cost per mile. We have engineered a system so complex that cities literally cannot afford to do much of anything.
I live in a rather nice area that has sidewalks only where new homes have been developed. There are huge stretches of roadway (some at 40mph) where riding on a bike equates to having a death wish. (Yeah I know bikes are supposed to be on the road, but at speeds above 20mph or so that is also complete bull!)
