Is jaywalking a crime anywhere but in LA and Germany? I can't say that I've ever seen any law enforcement take it seriously anywhere except those two places. Personally, I love walking. When I lived close, I'd walk to work (roughly a mile) through the most hellish cold if that's what the weather decided to give me that day. Sadly, I moved to the suburbs last year, and my walking has decreased dramatically since then (and inversely correlates with my weight--go figure!). I can't say that I miss living in Detroit, but that one particular aspect of it really gets me down. I'd like to move back to a city in the future, but just not that one.
