One of New York City’s newly inaugurated mayor Bill de Blasio’s first initiatives has been “Vision Zero,” the city’s efforts to get pedestrian traffic fatalities down to zero. De Blasio called the problem an “epidemic”; 7 pedestrians died in the city of 7 8 million in the first two weeks of 2014. “We simply have to do better,” de Blasio said while announcing an interagency group that would include the Taxi and Limousine Commission, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Health, and the NYPD. The NYPD is already doing its part.
Someone needs to introduce Mayor de Blasio to probability calculations... I don't care how many PSAs and other public safety campaigns the city of New York runs, sh*t happens and the number of bad results goes up as you add more people on foot in a dense urban center with lots of cars, trucks, and buses.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

But, but, but, if we make a law against it the problem will stop, right?
