Different cityscapes

We live in a 400+ apartment complex in an unincorporated neighborhood of Miami-Dade county, called "The Hammocks".

This is a neighborhood that has been built for automobiles, not for pedestrians. You barely see people walking on the sidewalks. I like to walk, when it is not too far (less than one kilometer), but it is not really pleasant because of all the cars that run at forty miles an hour.

The street in front of my office has 5 lanes, but it is not possible to park on the street. So, if you want to walk around, you need to find some place to park first, such as a strip mall.

At night, there is no public lighting. Daisy who works three kilometers from the apartment usually walks to work mornings and evenings. However, if she works late, she does not want to walk in the dark, so she calls me to come get her with the car.

According to Wikipedia, Burnaby, British Columbia (where we lived two years ago) and The Hammocks have the same population densities. But, in Burnaby, you see people walking on the sidewalks continuously. Here, apart from people exercising, there are almost no pedestrians.
