Tragedies like this never have to happen.

But we continue to let them happen. Why?

When will our society finally figure out that cars cause far more problems than they solve. When will we start making policies to make large, fast, and very deadly automobiles obsolete?

Honestly, I don't understand why anyone who lives in the city owns a car. I mean the whole point of the city is that everything you need is nearby or accessable by public transportation. At a minimum, cars just get in everyone's way in an urban area.

What's especially unfortunate is that when tragedies like this happen, many people think, well that's just a fact of life. Pedestrians should be more careful. It's crazy.
