I mean until recently more people used to die in car accidents than by gunfire. It was the leading cause for kids. I am not advocating for lack of concern. But making cars less useful it’s not a solution since people still have to commute long distances in some countries. You have to weigh the benefits against the costs. If you believe that pedestrians should always be prioritized then you should be advocating for a complete ban on cars

Can you even afford a car? I somehow doubt it. you have that typical attitude of wanting to ban the things that are outside your reach.

I could afford buying multiple in cash each year.

Why would I ever do something so dumb, though?
