I get what you're saying, but every instance where I've felt physically threatened in my neighborhood is from malicious or incompetent drivers -- I often yield my right of way when walking because I feel I'll be injured otherwise. Drivers really are the greatest menace in the city as far as I'm concerned.
The other issues are both rarer and don't make me feel physically threatened. Though of course nobody wants to see human suffering.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoSeattle has been going through a rough spot with its drug addiction/homeless problem, which has basically ruined a lot of things that we took for granted a decade or two ago. It also doesn’t really make sense: it doesn’t take a lot to just remove people from a bus if they take out a knife, yet the city/county has deprioritized public safety, which tips the safety advantage back to car travel. You are lot more likely to get murdered on a bus (or on Link or in a Link station after you get off the train) than in your own car, even if the risk of accident is higher.
