There's a tweet I read that says something along the lines, "as long as any change, despite how beneficial for most poor people will hurt some poor people, it is the progressive position such change is bad. From that the progressive position is keep everything the same." The irony is of course that poor people disproportionately suffer from car fatalities, so "change" is already being wrought on them by the increasing size of cars and increasingly more expensive and difficult car culture. They just lack the voice (or awareness really) that middle class people who want to protect their position and privilege do, and the latter do not hesitate to use the poor as props whom they otherwise have contempt for the moment they need relief in other areas.
