The Invention of Jaywalking | NEC

Over the course of less than a decade, American public opinion swung from widespread outrage over the slaughter of innocent children on the street by careless drivers to ridiculing and blaming victims for their own deaths. It has remained there, more or less, ever since.

“We tend to associate intimacy with closeness and closeness with a certain sum of shared experiences. Yet in reality total strangers, who will never say a single word to each other, can share an intimacy — an intimacy contained in the exchange of a glance, a nod of the head, a smile, a shrug of a shoulder. A closeness that lasts for minutes or for the duration of a song that is being listened to together. An agreement about life. An agreement without clauses. A conclusion spontaneously shared between the untold stories gathered around the song.”

— John Berger, Some Notes on Song

In most major cities, when jaywalking, you look both ways to make sure a car isn't coming before you cross, and generally only do it when you're not within easy distance of a crosswalk. in SEATTLE, apparently, you wait until a car is coming, then blithely strut out directly in front of it without so much as a glance. i don't like cars and am a huge proponent of public transit but I have seen this SO MANY TIMES i cannot fathom why this place is like this
