The problem here is that PEs don't think they have an obligation to make streets that are safe for anyone but drivers, because the entire industry standards of practice are wrong.

OK this one landed.

Very valid point and thank you for crystalizing this.

Reminds of law and medicine tbh. It seem to be a structural issue where proffesions are captured by Brian rot who cares more about money, careers and good connections over doing their jobs.

So from that perspective, yes, we should start with people owning this.

Thank you for enagaging.
