Because some people don’t want those pesky people who are too poor and have to walk to places.

Because that would make walking convenient…nobody wants that

Sometimes to prevent ease of travel for homeless or other loitering activities, sometimes because everyone wants to use tax money for their pet projects and it’s hard to excite people about sidewalks. These are just my guesses

Poor people might walk through their neighborhoods. They might even be nonwhite.

Well, America is the land of the car and that’s reflected in basically all infrastructure decitions, be that public transport or sidewalks :/

It’s not a priority? In my city, it’s up to private developers to put them in, so we have a hodge podge of alternating sidewalks with surprise endings.

Its fine in a few more year it will be to hot to even walk so why have side walks /s
