If only. Sadly the technology has eluded a country with almost 20,000 cities and 331 million people. We share one homogeneous existence across a land mass of 3.8 million square miles (9.8 SQ KM), completely devoid of sidewalks. Maybe one day...

Nothing grosser then staying at a hotel in Brooklyn, adjacent to a highway and on the otherside of it is a sprawling parking lot and mall. No sidewalks, no pedestrian overpass, it's like the thought of walking was unheard of

Weird. I walked across the Brooklyn bridge last week, and although I just went from the bridge to the subway, and back to Manhattan, it seemed like a very walkable city.
