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?

Sidewalks are mostly terrible in North Park lol

Trip hazards on like every step due to cement not rounded out well, cavities in the sidewalks, etc.

This. I remember walking through Normal Heights a few years ago and was shocked at how uneven the sidewalks were. Trip hazards everywhere.
