Or you could just use the sidewalk?

A lot of the places I lived growing up didn't have sidewalks.

Rural roads man.

90% of the streets in my neighborhood don’t have sidewalks and I live in a major city. Exactly half of one side of my block has a sidewalk

Unfortunately, you probably live in a formerly red lined area. This is a vestige of the past institutional racism from your city. But setting that aside, I was referring to the actual sidewalk present in the photo

One example: 47°42'58.8"N 122°18'21.3"W

no, it's not redlining, these are the neighborhoods redlining was keeping black people out of.

cute attempt at whatever that was tho.

I'm aware, but in this exact picture, there is a sidewalk.
