> it would be great if they cared as much about the safety of kids in the streets
car culture < childhood
This isn't a cynically curated viewpoint. It's some* of what we have and what that cost.
* we also have trespassing culture & stranger-danger culture. we ruined roaming and the childhood development it nurtured.
You think there wernt cars when I was a kid? I lived in the subs. Kid utopia!
Can you imagine bringing up cars in this thread?

I believe you. I'm likely older than you, so there were even fewer cars when I was a kid. I'm confident my utopia was even better than yours.
Between then and now we have a gradient of loss. My kids grew up under 24/7 adulting and had nowhere to go.
"My kids grew up under 24/7 adulting and had nowhere to go."
Yes but this has nothing to do with cars. What are you even protecting kids from anyway?
