In that order, preferably. Fuck this techbro shit.
You’re forgetting a fundamental one:
Technology is not mature yet, we'll need another 10 years til we could make those work.
Just let Elon Musk handle it, it will be ready in two year tops. Perpetually two years away.
He'll get two miles of underground sidewalks put in during four of those two years.
And 6 years after starting his two year project it'll go bankrupt because no one is paying to use his underground sidewalk service.
Breaking news! Automatic sidewalks from company OvaDere is coming to YOUR town! Imagine using a one long elevator to get to work and you are thinking AutomWalk! Using revolutionary technology SafeStop, this Smart AI driven sidewalk replacer AutomWalk stops as soon as it detects a passerby to ensure health and safety, allowing to traverse any distances comfortably, no matter where you are going!
Looking around the infrastructure of Texas, it's gonna be a whole lot longer than 10 years if they decide to make anything sidewalk safe.
Better get used to walking on grass if you choose to walk somewhere here.
Whats wrong with walking on the grass? It always blows my mind people choose to walk in the road, as close to vehicles as possible, rather than choose the clearly safer option and walk on the grass.
I'm genuinely curious why so many people are afraid of the grass, fuck, ill walk in the weeds/trees before I walk on the side of a road.
The road isn't a better option but issues with grass in residential areas:
And on the larger sidewalks you can ride bikes on them relatively safely.
Agreed with preferring to walk on grass than the road, but the grass here is thick, uneven, and patchy. Very easy to trip or get stuck going through a section that hasn't been mowed in months.
If they had instead just made a sidewalk, things would be much easier. Especially in the areas that have sidewalk ramps that lead to nothing but grass. Laziness.
