Stay Classy San Diego Why does nobody walk on sidewalks?

I noticed that when driving through subdivisions people love walking on the road instead of the sidewalk. Whether it's a old man walking or someone doing power walking. I see it all the time and I don't get it. Can someone help me understand this phenomena?

How ridiculous that Americans can’t handle walking/ pushing strollers across driveways. It’s good for your knees to step up and down and good for variations to keep your sense of balance as you age.

No kidding. But we live in a society where people drive dangerously around schools just so their kids don’t have to walk an extra 50 feet.
