Podcast: The Death Race
“[Last year] there were 13 homicides in the city of Springfield. There were 59 traffic deaths... If you’re really worried about being killed by a stranger, worry about living in a place where there are no sidewalks.”
Steve Shultis is a long-time member of Strong Towns, a blogger at RationalUrbanism.com, a resident of inner-city Springfield, MA, and a frequent guest on the Strong Towns podcast. He and Chuck talk about traffic deaths and his interactive graphic Death Race 2016 which compares criminal homicides with traffic deaths. He also discusses media coverage about homicides vs. traffic deaths.
