      You don’t like the ‘pedestrian mower’ trucks, where the driver can’t see anything that’s less than 30 feet in front of them? Weird. /s

      Don’t forget the rising costs of living, forcing more people onto the street, creating more pedestrian-vehicle collisions generally.

      And the widespread prevalence of stroads in the US, which are more or less the most dangerous environment for pedestrians humanity has ever invented.

        I’m sorry, do you seriously think the rise in pedestrian collisions is attributable to the homeless? And do you think they literally live in the street or something?

          I’m an xray in a public trauma hospital.
          I see at least half a dozen homeless hit by cars every shift.

          They don’t set up their tents on the literal street, but they do have to cross it countless times everyday.

          Combined with murder machines called stroads. Yah it’s a big part of the problem. One of many parts.
