I don't get why this post gets to stay up but the "what can we actually do about unsafe driving culture" needed to be removed

Because the only real answer is 'reddit is not a substitute for talking to your councilperson.'

I don't want to get into an argument, but don't you think a group of people working together -- even if only to talk to our councilpeople -- would make a bigger splash than one person doing it? And that something like that is more worthy of discussion than "HEY ASSHOLE" type posts?

I don't really think either are necessary. There's a lot of people here making weird nextdoor-y posts lately.

And yes, get signatures from the whole block or the block captain to go to a councilperson, so they actually live in the neighborhood, which matters more than a bunch of people on the internet, many of which don't even live here.

The mods removed this? The carbrain in this city is real. Any talk of infrastructure that would drastically improve safety albeit at a slight inconvenience to drivers is blasphemous.

Meanwhile the annual US automobile death toll is 40,000+. At what point does it become an epidemic?
