Others say the city’s actions remove responsibility from pedestrians to look out for their own safety. “A pedestrian can do anything, and be irresponsible, and no harm will come to them?” Brandi said, describing the policies as “idiot-proof.
Pedestrians are literally dying, but sure, no harm done.

The San Francisco Standard is a neoliberal rag by a tech venture capital billionaire, so I’m not surprised. It cranks out garbage pushing the agenda of the wealthy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_San_Francisco_Standard

“Pedestrians jaywalk, walk drunk or stoned,” said Richard Brandi, a historic preservationist who lives in West Portal. “Nothing is going to stop those accidents.”

Great, so since they're drunk they deserve death. They deserved it because they were drunk. And looking at those two I'm sure they've never been drunk or stoned. Guaranteed if he was drunk and stumbling around and found himself in the street there would be some excuse for why a vehicle should have slowed down

Nothing, absolutely nothing, which is why there's so many traffic deaths even in the supposedly safe countries like the Netherlands... Oh wait there's 0? Well, I guess they just have a bike culture there!

Oh no, wouldn't want to be inconvenient to motorist.
Do you know what else is really inconvenient? Death. Tends to mess with your plans.

Pale skinned boomers to be exact.

You can say white. There's no algorithm.

Sometimes I forget how stupid humans are.

Is he wearing a cardigan/hoodie over his jacket? There might be something off with his judgement...

He's got the look of someone who goes to every single town hall, council or what ever meetings to complain about children.

Why are these two standing right in the centre of what looks to be a road?! Get off the road stupid pedestrians, you're asking to get run over. /s

How long until we just have people demanding people drive everywhere for "safety"?

About -30 years

That's already the common mentality.

Holy shit I want these people to suffer. No arguments or debates, these people just suck. I hope they step on a lego every day. Full weight right in the heel.
I came here to post the same quote. It made me want to gouge my eyes out. 😭
