In answer to your questions....seriously. It has to do with taxes. Take notice many time properties abandoned, no structures or in poor condition have no sidewalks. Each properties taxes go towards a portion of what services provided...ie: sidewalks. If the city owns the property being an abandoned lot, or someone with an unkept or abandoned building....no taxes would be collected from the party to pay for the sidewalk or the cost of installing one. Sorry to sound like a geek but its the true answer...

You want higher taxes? Many areas of the country were built before streets were paved, so no sidewalks. Now, that is the way the majority of new subdivisions are being designed and built. They break up the neighborhood with cul-de-sacs and no through streets.

We live in a car culture country. This is why we have zoning laws separating where people live from where they work and shop. That insures you having to own a vehicle just to get out of your neighborhood!
As for building sidewalks, well no one is lobbying for that so no money goes to it.

Governments tend to require sidewalks on streets where people do not walk.

Because that would mean that our government actually makes sense and they don't make any sense at all.
