    I mean, it’s a big comfort thing too. I have zero interest in walking or using public transport in negative temps or 80+ degree weather. I enjoy not struggling to survive a trip.

    There is actually a bigger city that spent in the ball park of 500k putting in a miles of a walking/bike path, less then 10 people showed up for it’s “grand opening” and it’s so unused there isn’t even trash or homeless camps. It was dubbed a waste of money.

      I’m willing to bet it’s winding and/or goes fucking nowhere. When bike paths don’t get used, it’s almost universally because they were designed by dipshits who think they’re for recreation instead of transportation.
