That sounds made up. Maybe if you could provide evidence of an equivalent rise in homelessness. Even then, more homeless doesn’t mean more people are wandering into the street.
Don’t forget the rising costs of living, forcing more people onto the street, creating more pedestrian-vehicle collisions generally.
I’m sorry, do you seriously think the rise in pedestrian collisions is attributable to the homeless? And do you think they literally live in the street or something?
I’m sorry I didn’t mention all the people who don’t matter to my point.
But since you’re bias is making assumptions about things I didn’t mention, I usually see half a dozen a week who aren’t obviously living on the street. Once every couple months or so, I even xray a hospital employee who was biking into work when they got hit by a car, or bailed trying to avoid one. But that doesn’t mean they couldn’t be one of the working homeless.
Average car size probably rose approximately 70% as well. I remember when Hummers were considered absurdly large, now they’re not even the largest things on the road.
and its 100% from unnecessarily large cars

And the widespread prevalence of stroads in the US, which are more or less the most dangerous environment for pedestrians humanity has ever invented.
Stroads are an absolute fucking menace. And way too common.
Exactly! Literally every major street in Albuquerque is a stroad.
It’s insanely dangerous to walk anywhere here.
Thanks for the laugh 😆

I’m an xray in a public trauma hospital.
I see at least half a dozen homeless hit by cars every shift.
They don’t set up their tents on the literal street, but they do have to cross it countless times everyday.
Combined with murder machines called stroads. Yah it’s a big part of the problem. One of many parts.
Sounds like confirmation bias and that same old assumption that only poors don’t just drive a car everywhere.

You don’t like the ‘pedestrian mower’ trucks, where the driver can’t see anything that’s less than 30 feet in front of them? Weird. /s
bah. children are not the future. Ever talk to one? pretty ignorant.

In my experience, drivers are getting shittier by the week doing increasingly stupid and illegal maneuvers
and car infrastructure
Not even 1% from phones?
Phones cause more accidents but mortality rate rose sharply with the increased size of vehicles.
