Correction: "and you forget that our society values cars more than people so you get murdered by one while crossing the street." Yes, she should've been more careful, but holly fuck do people really need to die for us to start dreaming up human centered infrastructure rather than building everything around our addiction to cars and fossil fuels?

I can not stand the hyper reliance on cars either friend, it sucks.

Correction: you’re adding nonsense to my comment. The Lady crossed what is basically a 4 lane highway and she got hit… she fucked around and found out. This section of Philly county is basically the burbs with sidewalks, bike paths and crosswalks at intersections with stop lights.

We should be honest in this situation, it’s a tragedy that people were traumatized for her moment of stupidity attempting to play frogger. But holy fuck, yes, let’s focus on infrastructure cause people already fucked the Washington Ave redesign royally! For the Dalessandro’s issue they just have to make Wendover St go one way towards Walnut Lane GC.

People are already crying about future improvements to SEPTA that would improve the timing and reliability of buses, so I don’t have hope in a democratic process that allows the dumbest and loudest to takeover the process.

Way to miss the point you fucking sociopath. If there is a constant stream of people feeling the need to jaywalk this "4 lane highway" as you say then the road needs to be redesigned. No amount of cheering about how these people deserve to die is going to address the root issue.

I obviously missed the point, that’s why I didn’t die crossing Henry ave after getting my cheesesteak … cause I used the existing infrastructure to not die.

Pretty sure she drove there too. If it wasn't for cars the only people who would go there would be the people who live on that side of the street anyway.
