One thing I fail to understand about American towns is how they build a wide four-lane road in a residential area and they don’t even consider sidewalks.
There was probably state or federal funding for the concrete and asphalt that the cars drive on, the lights, and the median. Sidewalks are local costs that are limited by whatever the relatively wealthy in power want, and that isn’t sidewalks for poor people that they don’t personally use.

Money. It is always money.
