Presumably not good, but I guess the primary obstacle to safety is local killer object owners, not anything federal. Cities could make themselves safe. I have to again promote Street Rivals: 100 years later we have another opportunity to take the streets back for pedestrians, or hand them over to killer objects.
Relatedly, I recently decided to join http://www.strongtowns.org/ because I think they might be effective in reaching relatively conservative types that generally default to being pro-killer. Slow the Cars is their most relevant campaign.
