“Easily achievable” depends significantly on where you live (and of course your health).

Sidewalks might as well be illegal in most parts of my home city, given how many areas are completely devoid of them.

As more people start wanting to walk, there will be more sidewalks. Start demanding for it and you will get it.

We didn’t add any street lights in the city for 30 years due to budget constraints. U.S. infrastructure is, in a lot of ways, barely functional.

And I’m disinclined to risk my life to try to prove a futile point. Walking very far here is dangerous due to narrow roads, bridges with no sidewalks, etc.

There was once a time when men risked their lives for what they believed in. At least, that is the mantra I repeat when I feel endangered walking through my city.

We live in a democracy! Hope you understand that if you and enough people around you want changes in your neighborhood/community it is totally possible.

Start making changes and influencing people instead of saying its futile. Change is always possible.

Walking on grass is better for joint and fine motor control due to the balance adjustments of slightly uneven ground

Fair enough. I guess I should have left “easily” out.
