Do you feel the same way about zero polio deaths? The transportation issue is fairly complicated, and there does exist a tendency to oversimplify the costs of moving away from the status quo. But many of the reactions on this thread (this one included) are even more free of nuance or an attempt at understanding the situation. There's no question for anyone who's bothered to inform themselves that the US status quo around transportation is far from ideal for most sets of preferences[1]. Vision Zero is a bit of a blunt instrument for calling attention to how bad the status quo is, but it's a lot better than the arguments I'm seeing here. [1] Obviously you can construct a set of preferences that is optimal for a given state, but I'm using reasonable priors here.
