it actually works best in the most dense parts of cities, especially when combined with a walking sign

Chicken shit, bedding and feathers make a pretty gnarly combustible mix.

Do you mean they arsoned for the insurance? I doubt it. I would be very surprised if their insurance payout adjusted that quickly based on market rates.

I recently did a glassblowing date night with my wife at kinship glass in Milford. It was a lot of fun. Check out their website.

I am being downvoted too, this is just a very controversial issue, and that is fine. Typically nicer suburban areas don't have any pedestrian infrastructure but in general, you won't find much solidarity with non-drivers throughout the state.
It is very expensive to live here, even if you have the money to buy a house, taxes won't give you a break, so it can be overwhelming this feeling of giving a lot to the state in exchange for nothing, some people get angry when you come out with solutions that imply public spending(I can't blame them), because they know this could incur into more taxation.

Nice Simpsons reference. As for the rest I get it, I don’t have to like it and I don’t. The stroads you refer to are streets that people drive like crap on. Imo no need for a different word.

I'm sure it varies by city, but there's a plan in Manchester to put in fully protected bike lane throughout downtown.

since I'm being downvoted I'm only curious about housing prices.
Where exactly are there neighborhoods with no sidewalks that would still be less expensive than inner city Bridgeport or New Haven?

It comes from the concept that a road and a street are actually two different things. A road connects two places and allows high speed traffic, a street is a place businesses and homes are. You want people to drive slowly on a street because people are walking and biking around between homes and businesses
When a street also becomes a place that people drive fast on, it becomes hostile to pedestrian and cyclist traffic but its density also stops it from effectively carrying all the traffic that wants to drive through it like it's a road. It sucks at being both a road and a street. So it's now a stroad. All words are made up and sometimes we need new ones. It's a perfectly cromulent word

Let me extend it a little bit more. I believe pedestrian infrastructure is just as elemental as vehicle infrastructure, It shouldn’t be seen as an "upgrade" it should be mandatory. The town should guarantee the safety of the residents by providing them with proper designs. If I go for a walk and a car hits me because it is a narrow road with a 35mph limit I didn't do anything wrong, nor did the driver, it was terrible urban design.

Awesome so you go to work sick and pass that misery onto families that might not even get paid time off. That's messed up. Use the fml rules for sick family care if you have to take care of your kids

Of course it's an option. It's unethical to go to work in a school when you have a stomach virus

I don't think sidewalks are "amenities". I mean, I know what you are saying. But I think it comes to bad Urban planning, the amount of money and maintenance you give to such a thing is very marginal, I think the urban code should be modified. We waste public money on a lot of nonsense, why can't we use it for something that will benefit the community?
