I live in a much smaller city in a different state and have presented to the traffic and safety board about rampant non-vehicular danger in nearly every point in the current system, how there is no enforcement nor education guaranteeing the problem to get worse. I stopped short of asking how many of them drove to the meeting but the question was in my mind. I’ve applied to be on the council many times but appointment is only done by the mayor(why?).

It’s systemic and deliberate, and where it’s not deliberate as you point out op, people don’t even know what game they’re playing or which teams they’re on.
