Reply to comment by CoffeexCup in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica

I agree, VCU produces a higher number of pedestrians than a normal business or city district would, but expect the city to fix their problem.

The way you write it, it sounds like you are calling pedestrians a problem that needs to be dealt with

We’ll that’s not exactly how I’d put it, but I guess a little. Large amounts of pedestrians are a “problem” that needs a solution. I don’t in anyway mean to fault the individuals or VCU really but VCU at this point is benefiting from not having a true campus and utilizing the cities infrastructure. That said they are state funded so who am I to bitch.

Those pedestrians are almost guaranteed to shop in Richmond and contribute to sales tax and likely have jobs that would also be taxed. What are taxes for?
