I think one could say in the neighborhoods that most redditors live in (not far northwest, north, northeast, west, or southwest), more vehicular homicides occur than violent homicides

Okay yeah I can read too. Just saying this is a problem that’s likely more relevant to most people on this subreddit and that’s it’s still a very relevant statistic. I’m not the one who posted the incorrect comparison.

But you're still saying something with absolutely no evidence to back it up.

Hence "people can say anything "

Okay look at page 6 in the vision Zero doc with the map of incidents. Admittedly, the fatalities are a bit randomly distributed throughout the city, but looking at serious injuries and fatalities combined, I’d posit that there are more traffic incidents resulting in fatalities or serious injuries than shootings in the whiter areas of Philly.
