Driving between them takes 5 minutes in a straight line. Safely walking between them, however, is a six-hour diversion through four unrelated towns, as opposed to the 30 or so minutes it would take in a straight line. Thanks to hostile architecture, I guess.
I had a similar two hour route given to me by google once. I assumed they knew what they were talking about, so I took the detour there and back for a combined four hours. Next day I had my car back and drove through, and there was totally a sidewalk I just couldn’t see it from where I was standing.
Next time I’m just jaywalking, sidewalk or not.
