    Not at anywhere near the speeds or volume that they’re used by cars today

    You’ve moved the goalposts. You previously said streets aren’t for cars. Now you’re fine with cars, but its the volume/speed you take issue with? The article you’re replying to had a car driving at 17mph before the kid ran in front of it. A horse drawn carriage can go about twice that fast at top speed.

    Streets used to be legitimate and safe places where kids could play or people could walk.

    You…actually think that there weren’t people injured and killed by horse carts long before cars existed? Are you serious? I’m beginning to think you have no idea what you’re talking about especially with regard to history.

      No, that is not what I said.

      You…actually think that there weren’t people injured and killed by horse carts long before cars existed? Are you serious?

      Again, not what I said.

      I don’t think fucking horses were killing 400 kids per day but if they were I would be against ubiquitously using them on streets as well.

      Since you’re clearly arguing in bad faith, I think I’m going to disengage.
