  All of them are totally avoidable, except a lot of people thought it was a good idea to increase out reliance on cars.

    Not sure why are you downvoted this much, this is such an obvious case of elephant in the room.

      You can't just "not use cars". No matter what you need some form of transportation, and people will die on it. Any time someone says a huge class of deaths is totally avoidable, take it with a mountain of salt. It's a useless idea, completely disconnected from the useful realm of risk management.

        You could reduce your car time by half.

    But in order to decrease our reliance on cars, we would have to let builders replace the single-family housing in cities with taller multi-unit buildings. This would: - Be very profitable for people we don't like. - Employ carpenters building prefab housing in Maine rather than carpenters who live in the city. - Fail to destroy capitalism. - Destroy the character of the neighbourhood by casting shadows. - Let the wrong sort of people into people's neighbourhoods. And where would everyone park? /s
