… especially if the neighborhood is filled with little shits with too many electrified toys.

EDIT: Okay, I’m convinced. Regular bikes would actually be a sensible cause here. Let me be a curmudgeon though.

    Welcome to American suburbia; the sidewalk is basically meant to serve the purpose of a park path. The nearest shop of any kind whatsoever is 1.3km away, and if anything that’s not considered that bad.

      The shop is 1.3km away, but because of no road crossings or sidewalks it’s actually a 5km trip without a car.

      Wheelchair users who want to visit their neighbors should be grateful the pavers lie flat, not heaved up by tree roots. (And in fact the flat grass might be a smoother way around such obstacles, except when too muddy.) The grass exists for dogs to pee and poop on. Looks like owners have been decent about scooping, at least.
