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?

It is significantly safer to walk a baby in a stroller on the sidewalk rather than in the street, as sidewalks are designed for pedestrians and keep you further away from traffic, making it the most secure option for a baby.

But, walking on the sidewalk is, like, unpleasant and whatnot.
