I'm probably gonna catch flak for this hot take.
Some people are seriously just suicidal. I live in a small town tourist area where the downtown has blinking crosswalks that are treated(and enforced) like red lights by most. And people still cross the street wherever, and whenever, they want. The close calls I've seen are numerous! Now don't get me twisted, I'm very much for fifteen minute walkable cities, but people in general are very stupid whether in a car or not. Shit, the first girl I dated after moving here tried walking into oncoming traffic on our second date! I had to grab the back of her shirt and pull her back to keep her from being run over! She legit thought she was gunna get a payout if she got hit!
Do you think people's nature has changed? Do you think Americans are somehow more "suicidal" than other nations? This is a constant. It applies universally. It does not explain anything.
It seems tourist everywhere are just fucking stupid.
