    Still, some think safety measures do more to inconvenience motorists than to protect pedestrians.

    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.

    “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

    “If someone doesn’t die because of it, we will never know, while the living have to suffer,” Nina Geneson Otis wrote in an email to The Standard. The real estate broker said daylighting is the kind of policy that makes Democrats lose elections.

    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.

    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.

      Then why is this headline weirdly biased to sound like all the community members are blaming pedestrians, instead of that only being two quotes from a more nuanced conversation?
