What lol. Arguing pedestrian infrastructure is not useful is arguing against it.
Suburban sprawl is an issue. But it is solvable by building more density and improving pedestrian infrastructure. It’s not insurmountable.

Never even said it wasn’t useful. Not sure where you’re getting that from at all. Original comment was even in support under the right circumstances. Think you missed something.

“Just saying the ability to make it useful requires a lot of stuff the US doesn’t have”
If that’s not arguing it isn’t useful then I have no idea what you’re trying to say here. Or in the entire thread because every single thing you’ve said is about how pedestrian infrastructure isn’t useful in the US!

Useful is not the same thing as practical.
The material posted and a ton of the comments are about “WHY DOESNT THE US DO THIS?!?!”.
I’m simply stating why. Different locale, society, and problems. Just because it’s possible in one place doesn’t mean it translates everywhere, which is the naive fallacy of a lot of these comments I’m reading.

Well, then, again, I disagree and that’s why we’re arguing. How you describe the arguments you’re making is not relevant. The point is that they’re not accurate. With political will we could have the same experience as these kids in our urban centers.
