'Failed vision': S.F. citizen body slams city, police for lack on Vision Zero

  "The SFPD does not meaningfully enforce traffic laws." My experience exactly.

    The NYPD’s predecessor’s were abolished and rebuilt twice [1]. SFPD strikes me as similarly corrupted as those might have been. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City_Police_Department https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_City...

  Zero sounds like an unrealistic vision to me. It's like deciding to fail before you set out.

    It's a great goal, the goal of a goal is to be the asymptote we use as one side of the curve. It would be weird to target an arbitrary number above 0.
