Moving in a private vehicle is statistically the most dangerous activity an otherwise healthy young person routinely participates in. Your family is almost certainly at higher risk of death and serious injury now because you based this decision on your perception of safety rather than evaluating the reality of it. Speaking of "pure facts."

I have more than 200,000 miles accident free and my kids are doing fine. Living in a city with unhinged maniacs on drugs was way more dangerous.

Right, except it wasn't, like objectively. Like factually. As in its not up to your opinion.

Driving is more dangerous, and it's not even close. For example, in NYC you're over 100x more likely to die in a car on the roads above the subway than on the subway.

I'm glad we understand that risk isn't evenly distributed and this also applies to driving

It does, but not much. When you drive, your life is in thousands of people's hands.

Only the most naive of the naive can believe being a safe driver means they won't die in a car wreck.

I've been sharing needles for 20 years and I'm fine so far what's your point.

you are not correctly evaluating the risks you take by driving. it wasn't more dangerous. but ok.
