Don’t worry, they’re also hostile to humans under the age of 70
Comment on They're called leaves for a reason.

Too bad HOAs are far more concerned with making sure everything looks plain and perfect to the 70 year old humans walking on the street rather than giving any craps about wildlife.

In a previous house I rented, the HOA ladies would drive around the neighborhood roughly 3 times a week. There were less than 200 homes in the whole subdivision. Even if you walked slowly, it would only take an hour to walk the whole thing, but instead they drove.

You think anybody is walking on the street in the US?

I’m not American but my understanding is that many of those “suburban” residential blocks have sidewalks and you can walk around withing the confinement of your block. However blocks are isolated from each other and you need a car to go somewhere else.

My block of suburbia growing up only had a sidewalk for the last 2 houses on it, everyone else didn’t get one
So that’s nice

I’m increasingly seeing neighborhoods where there’s only a sidewalk on one side of the street…and then it terminates for no reason…and then it starts again…
It’s so bizarre.

There are places in the US, that when you buy a house or property, you are given a choice. You can build a sidewalk for it yourself, or you can pay the city/county for a sidewalk.
The thing is, if you pay the city/county for the sidewalk, they stipulate that they can build that sidewalk where ever they want. This does not have to include in front of, or anywhere near, your house
The US is a very strange place.

America build the suburbs as a big fake playground where you can walk your dog.

Absolutely. There’s a lot in my neighborhood… And it’s annoying when there’s a perfectly good sidewalk right there.

Plenty of them do. And I hate it. They need to be on the sidewalk, not the street.

You think otherwise?

Depends where you live. I am in Denver and only use the car a few times a week, mostly during ski season.
The rest of the time I walk.
