May not be true everywhere, but here it is illegal to run or walk in the street if there is a sidewalk available. And there are sidewalks almost everywhere.
I don't have a big problem with runners in the bike lane, but I seldom have a runner I'm passing yield to my bike. They usually hold the middle and force me to swerve. And they often run with traffic instead of against. I just write them off as rude and inconsiderate.
