  • When I lived in Panama City Beach before I moved here a few years ago I walked everywhere except work. Grocery stores, bars, etc. averaged around 22,000 steps a day. I may average around 4,000 here. (Note I worked a sit down job when I lived there as well)

    Aka yeah, infrastructure and location impact my health greatly.

    Edit: come to think of it I actually stopped to help a construction worker putting new sidewalks on front beach road at one point. His workers slacked off and left early for the day. Asked if he needed help and he threw me $100 for 2 hours of work and told me if I came back he’d pay me to be their manager. I was already employed elsewhere so I turned him down, but it was a unique experience for me.









  • Is there naming conventions for various side walks. Like this here appears to just be an island surrounded by road, so no pedestrian ever would be on it outside of driving their car to it. The actual side walks leading to the buildings usually run down to the main streets.

    For an example I highlighted a terrible for pedestrian building near me, where purple is where you would normally have walking paths, and yellow is where someone would put a “sidewalk” like the one in the original post.
