I hate to sit in traffic, plus I like to walk, so I wouldn’t mind seeing some tax money going to making streets walkable, like sidewalks and crosswalks.
In addition, some changes to road standards to allow for sidewalks and some changes to town zoning codes to allow denser urban cores to allow uses to be built close to eachother would be an improvement to the current standard of every use being far apart requiring a car trip to everywhere, i.e. drive to office complex, drive to strip mall for lunch, drive to dry cleaners, drive to post office, drive to bakery, drive to grocery, etc.
They tried that, it's called Blue cities. Feel free to walk and shop, just be wary of the skyrocketing crime on individuals because perps are not punished.
They don’t have sidewalks and crosswalks where you live?
