I don't think it's only that. I've been walking & biking in my city a long time and once cars fully came back the degree of driver hostility to pedestrians and cyclists was noticeably increased. I mean stuff like intentionally swerving towards pedestrians in the crosswalk to scare them, physically pushing a car up against cyclists waiting at a light, actual malice shit.

For a while I thought I was just not used to high traffic anymore, or imagining it or whatever. But I've heard conversations about this so many different times from so many completely different people over the last couple years now.
