    Making sure city streets are wide as a highway lane is integral to fire safety, maybe if they narrowed streets they would be responding to fewer grisly car crashes

      Are you high AF? You start off sane enough, but rapidly scatter into wtf territory in multiple irrational directions at once.

      Maybe come back to this thought after a rest. 🤓

        In America, the fire department chief (unelected) often sits on the committee to determine what the roads look like, they will often be the ones demanding the roads stay as wide as possible and have zero traffic calming. For fire safety.

        My point was that they respond to way more car crashes than house fires, and are in position to influence that, and choose to make things less safe for everyone.
