Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
Welcome to American suburbia; the sidewalk is basically meant to serve the purpose of a park path. The nearest shop of any kind whatsoever is 1.3km away, and if anything that's not considered that bad.
1.3 kilometers seems unusually close for an American suburb.
The shop is 1.3km away, but because of no road crossings or sidewalks it's actually a 5km trip without a car.
I don't think that should be a relevant factor for the availability of proper sidewalks.
Wheelchair users who want to visit their neighbors should be grateful the pavers lie flat, not heaved up by tree roots. (And in fact the flat grass might be a smoother way around such obstacles, except when too muddy.) The grass exists for dogs to pee and poop on. Looks like owners have been decent about scooping, at least.
