Follow the money. The area is now “flush” with cash and big government wants to fill the till.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about targeting wealth.

It wasn’t a “problem” when “homeless” people wandered in the streets.

Fine, but where do they find people willing to do the dirty work. Showing up with boots, guns, tasers and the full backing of the gubment to steal money?

I don’t get it. But then again, my momma taught me to mind my own business and not to steal.

It Isn’t about safety, huh?
Does anyone realize that in slightly over 99% of the impacts between an, even at the legal speed, automobile and a jaywalking pedestrian works out much, much worse for the pedestrian.
Even in the event that the pedestrian has the “legal” Right-of-Way, it is the pedestrian who loses. Maybe not in court, but positively in the streets where these “events” generally occur.
Children are taught to “look both ways”, but adults too often think it is not meant for them.

And the homeless sure as heck wouldn't pay a $197 ticket!
