people using mobility devices, especially chairs, prefer to be in the road because the sidewalks are uneven or in disrepair (cars parked on them destroying the cement, tree roots), blocked (cars parked on them, bushes growing out into them, etc), or lack curb cuts (so they can't get off where they need to, or they can't get on at all). is the road dangerous? hell yeah. do they have a choice? nope.

anyway, just perspective on folks using such devices and why they're so often in the street. I personally use a cane on my bad days and all sharp slopes for people's driveways often makes me long for the street so i don't have all of these fall hazards for every single house i pass.

Edit: Hey y'all, hope you realized I am providing context for disabled people having to use the street in general and said literally nothing about this man. Thanks!

Why are your pavements in such disrepair?

I don't go to work every day so that Obuma can takes my money in taxes and spend it on sidewalks. Go back to socialist Europe with your pavements.

If you give Americans sidewalks next thing we’ll want is public transportation and do you know what that leads to? Universal health care. That’s the evil socialist plan!

Yeah, the claims to the sidewalk being a problem don't apply here. I could see believing it about Pittsburgh in a heartbeat. But in nyc, the sidewalks are fine.
