Those sidewalks always amaze me at how claustrophobic they feel. You dedicate like 20 m of space to cars and can only spare like 1 m to actual human beings living there?

This is the us right? Many nations would struggle to fail at sidewalks this hard. Those are poured slabs, they could have connected them to the curb for less work and more space, enough to fit the sidewalk in the right place.
