Even in the urban hellhole there are plenty of drivers (no idea if residents or not) who get offended at the existence of pedestrians, even though presumably some of them eventually get out of their cars and have to walk a block or two. It isn't uncommon for drivers to gun their engines just a bit as you're crossing the street to scare you, or for them to behave as if crosswalks are violations of their constitutional rights. It's weird.
