American infrastructure is so heavily skewed against pedestrians in pretty much every city that isn’t NYC. While large college campuses tend to be more pedestrian friendly, it still isn’t great. And since most Americans aren’t walking a mile everyday, when you then couple that with a backpack with materials needed for two different college classes like textbooks, laptop and charger, or notebooks and pens, it can be difficult for some ti walk that distance for whatever reason.

I don’t know why people are still surprised that the country designed to punish people who are too poor to afford a car has so little pedestrian and cycling.
