And urban streets used to be for pedestrians first, until the automotive industry lobbied to create the crime of "jaywalking."

I still don't get why that's even a crime. I live in Germany, and I jaywalk 5-10 times on a normal working day, because it's stupid to wait at a red light when there's no traffic within sight.
