funny how the verb "run over" is used when it's a public transit vehicle:

“The pedestrian is to blame 65.30% of the time for his own killing.”

Dining Sheds Changed the N.Y.C. Food Scene. Now Watch Them Disappear.
Street side sheds and shanties helped keep restaurants afloat during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, for better or worse, new city rules are forcing their removal.

Every year we celebrate the cozy winter village and worship the bustling holiday markets of shops, vendors, restaurants and a vibrant life full of community & togetherness

What's incredible is that we still refuse to support, build or create this type of vibrant public environment for everyday life

Chicago Concrete Post Company, 1924:
“Smashing automobiles? Yes, — but saving lives.”

Silent policemen were no flexposts. When “protecting pedestrians” was the end, unyielding mass was the means. That’s automatic enforcement our best tech today can’t match.
