A town with a median income ~20% below the national median, mostly because it's got a huge population of non-taxpaying resident college students. Yes, they pay tuition, but that is all spent on Rutgers' campus and doesn't make it out into town proper. Similar issues are common around large campuses in NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, etc.

But more importantly, is the random production of poor sidewalks ever going to be convincing? If your point is "Western Europe does it better," it seems like the appropriate evidence would be statistical in nature, and if you don't have it random examples aren't actually a convincing alternative.
