LA pedestrian and bicyclist deaths rising. What to do? Restore police traffic patrols and strict enforcement of pedestrian right-of-way? No, cut traffic patrols, legalize jaywalking, let bicycles blow red lights and stop signs. Guaranteed to make things worse. Classic leftism: Love their ideas more than people, even when those ideas endanger people. If you doubt this, consider the rising crime rates in leftist-run cities.
