On: Bollards: Why and What

If you can't afford sidewalks, you can't afford roads.

By that logic, most of Europe (I've driven in Ireland, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland) can't afford roads.

There aren't sidewalks everywhere.

They can afford them, they just choose not to prioritize them.

In urban areas, yes.

In farm country, not really.

Places in between are debatable - and as an inveterate pedestrian who's never learned to drive, I'd tend to be in favour of many of the places in between having sidewalks.

But still, a blanket "you can't afford roads" is a bit much.
