People need roads. People put businesses next to well traveled roads.

And then the Seattle City Fathers decree that roads are evil and are to be replaced with Light Rail. And Light Rail will not be placed where the people want to go. It is located near property that speculators bought up, evicted the poor residents and expect to make bundles of money when the rail line is built through their neighborhood.

And then some smart-ass steps in and proposes a transit system that goes where people already travel. And is designed to be financed by the riders of that system. So no more 'three card monte' confidence games with transit funds. So the City Fathers shout him down and panic the voters into dropping the idea.

Expect it to be the norm in 20 years.

That's OK. Quite a few aftermarket suppliers are doing a brisk business selling 'Idaho Stop' bars for trucks and SUVs. These used to be called 'bull bars', used to protect the trucks grill and radiator from damage from wandering livestock. They work for bicycles just as well.

But seriously; cyclists already blow through stop signs without looking. And that's fine if you know what you are doing. But some kid is going to see a skilled adult doing this and follow the example without the experience. Result: squashed kid.
