San Francisco pedestrian deaths refuse to fall. Some blame the pedestrians

Daylighting, which involves removing parked cars from around crosswalks in order to improve visibility and just wiped out about 14,000 street parking spaces, has proved especially controversial.

I commented before about how not having adequate parking space in parking garages results in more people parking on the street, which makes it harder for motorists, bicyclists, and predestrians to see and obstructs the flow of traffic on the streets.

Vehicles getting increasingly-tall exacerbates the issue further, makes them obstruct views more. And I expect that they're going to keep getting taller as the shift from ICE to hybrid and then to EVs happens, because there's nowhere else in the vehicle to put the batteries and such.

I don't like having parked cars right up against entryways or on corners as a pedestrian, a bicyclist, or a motorist. But it's probably going to happen if there aren't mandates to provide enough off-street parking.

My first guess would be that pedestrian improvements are inducing more people to walk, and the increase in total pedestrians is offsetting the improvements in per-pedestrian safety.
