Yeah, this happens a lot in the US. Like "it's only a few km's walk to the store, so I'll walk there" and the sidewalks are unmainted and full of thrash, there are no crosswalks, and you cant enter any malls via sidewalks. It's an absolute contrast to anywhere else in the world.

No one walks anywhere in the US apart from city centers.
