it's all vibes, you are way more likely to get hurt from a car crash than crime yet people have no problem driving.

Here in my city we just opened up a rail line extension. I've seen literally hundreds of comments saying it's not safe, all calling back to a stabbing in February. Which is horrific I know. But that's one death in a decade.

No one seems to know what to say when I call out the average 100 traffic fatalities every month in our state. That's just normal apparently, but city bad scary when 1 person in 10 years is killed
