As an American with a lot of experience with this exact problem, it really depends on what city in the US you live in. Some places hate pedestrians like they are Satan's ass cancer, and some places it's so common no one even notices. It all depends on the city's involvement with infrastructure.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I'm not sure that God himself has any money. All the pastors and religious preachers kept Gods money for themselves.
No worries,mobility will tickle down eventually
I'm still waiting for the first round of trickle down economics to reach me....
Ghostface Kafka is an awesome username.
Similar thing happened to German telecommunication infrastructure (for an industry nation our internet is notoriously bad in compatison to EU neighbours), happened to our public transport infrastructure, especially to our trains, and is currently happening to our hospitals.
Privatizing critical infrastructure has never been a good idea.
(West-)German telecom was a government monopoly run by the mail service and it was terrible.
It's a good thing that the train infrastructure is now for the common good (gemeinwohlorientiert) and can finally renovate everything.
Don't get me wrong: the trains are still for profit
I hate the roads here in the UK. I feel like I'm driving a slalom every time I get in the car. So many potholes. Some are pretty tiny, but others are like god himself fisted the road
Spray paint cocks around every pot hole.
Why even have them? Guerrilla rail honestly seems simpler. Just take the most ruined lane and chop it up a little more, then pile some gravel, planks, and ties on top.
