We meet people all the time who live north of SR-44 that come down south to enjoy the walking/biking trails. They don't seem to mind associating with us folks who live on "the wrong side of the tracks."

Have you read Goldwingnut's long informative post? Most certainly, it is a cost effective way to build the paths without the cement ribbon. My original statement that the infrastructure is built "on the cheap" still stands. Goldwingnut explains the reason for it but it doesn't change the fact that those paths are less expensive to build without the cement ribbon protecting the asphalt.
