Possibly "sidewalk" wasn't what I really meant.
I should have written I've walked upon and over and around traditional infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, schools, courthouses, hospitals, waterworks, and post offices built by the WPA without any problems.
Another possibility is that you are an idiot that says things without thinking.
Guess which way I lean.
In a previous post I mentioned some of the things the WPA built during the New Deal, but the WPA was only one agency, another was the PWA. The PWA built some bigger stuff: The Tribourough Bridge in New York also the LaGuardia Airport, Grand Coulee Dam, the highway to the Florida Keys are examples. And for the jobless young men, there was the CCC's that planted trees and cleaned up the national forests. And can any housewife remember turning on a washing machine with electricity from TVA?, or the factories that went in with the new electric generators powered by water?
None of that changes the fact that no WPA sidewalks exist anymore, they all fell apart because sidewalks and tree roots don't mix.
