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

    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.
