I also think one aspect that keeps getting omitted from the conversation are exhaust fumes.

We know that they are toxic and a common cause of any number of cardio-vascular and other diseases, including straight up turning you into a god damned moron. Yet it's perfectly accepted that we fill every cubic centimeter of our cities with them, and expect everyone to breathe in the noxious gasses every day of our lives.

I don't want to inhale your exhaust fumes, I don't want to die faster and under greater pain just because you can't be arsed to bike instead of driving a car.

I don't think the toxic fumes are left out of the conversation. It's horrifying round schools at drop off or pick up. In decades to come we'll look back in amazement what was acceptable.
