Do you actually walk everywhere where you live, because parts of the city aren’t even designed for walking. There are some areas where there’s no sidewalks for example. And that doesn’t even cover bad public transportation.
Yea I unfortunately do. It’s very annoying being forced to take the long way because there is no sidewalks. The local council member keeps saying nothing can be done since sidewalks must be installed by the property owner. When I point out that we can remove parking to make a path for pedestrians and maybe bikes, I get ghosted.
Sometimes the sidewalk just ends and I’m forced to unprotected cross 6/7 lane road to get to the other side for a sidewalk. I know my routes now and stopped exploring.
So I 100% agree with you, I feel like a second class citizen. Luckily I still can walk, I feel bad for anyone who is older or in a wheelchair. This city forces them to drive somewhere and if you can’t you’re stuck.

It is very different than in European countries.
