I don't get what "still don't have the habit of going around" means. From your post on sidewalks, I guess that is not an option for wheelchair bound folks.... It's a vehicl, get someone else to do your errands for you and be housebound, or nothing.

One of our problems here is older areas have sidewalks that are maintained, but a lot of newer developments do not. I don't understand it. Kids walking to the bus stop have to walk in the street or in the grass/weeds.
