    people will totally still walk on unsafe roads, that doesn’t make people’s houses any closer to anything.

    when i was a kid i would walk in the Ditch on the side of unwalkable roads, playing frogger to cross. it took me 2 hours of waking to reach the closest business, which was a single gross gas station. that’s why i didn’t walk to commute and I’m an avid hiker. the small handful of times i went for it it took me all day to get to one store and back. spent 6 hours just to get to a store with fresh produce and back by foot.
