Reply to comment by stormcloudbros in I'm legit scared of people in cars these days. Why does it feel like society is breaking down? by MintyLacroix

Welcome to living in cities. Lots of people (many of them reckless drivers) + lots of cars = incidents.

There are tons of safe cities in the world for pedestrians, numbers of people alone do not explain this.

Again, this further supports my claim that DC government is failing to address this issue. It can be fixed, they just refuse to do so. Incidents still happen in cities everywhere. Measures can be taken to mitigate them, however.

Wait so is it the dc government or cities that are the problem?

Both can be at fault. Cities all over the country absolutely have incidents between cars and pedestrians simply due to the nature of city driving. DC can also be especially bad because of the government’s ineptitude in addressing the issue. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
