I knew it was bad but it's no sidewalks by default bad down there? I'm sorry for your loss.
The first time i went to Texas to visit SO's family, I got bored once at a gathering so i decided to go for a walk. I walked one block and the side walk ended. Ok no problem so i turned and walked another block and the side wall ended again. I realized after i walked in a circle that the side walk only existed for the block i was in. There was no sidewalk in any of the adjacent blocks. I was flabbergasted.
Literally 50 percent of Stockland development streets in Australia are just totally fucking lacking a footpath.
Yeah, Aussies are maybe the only creature even dumber than Americans; they saw how it went in the USA and decided to copy it anyway.
I mean at least we don't have a decent chunk of the population who are ml-toids.
Nah, Australia and the US are equal in my mind, there's nothing either group could say to me to convince me otherwise.
haha good argument bro
I live in a relatively centrist-ish large suburb in North Alabama, about 65k people. There aren't any stretches of sidewalk going for than a couple hundred feet, maximum. Outside of those scarce stretches, you get to walk on the wet grass with the dead armadilloes, a few feet away from certain death at the hands of Billy Bob's Ford F150.
