Blaming individuals for systemic problems not effective at solving systemic problems. The actual headline should be something like:

I know Streetsblog does advocacy journalism, but the context in this story about the crash in terms of both the location and historical data is exactly how every traffic death should be covered.

This happens every day with a collective shrug from most in NYC - particularly the cops and elected officials - while every single crime that happens in the subway is put under a microscope.

The hubris of settlers demanding constant access to the Indigenous dead has not gone anywhere.
Whether it’s white scholars claiming that NAGPRA is anti-science, or residential school denialists demanding exhumation of remains to validate the stories of survivors, this ghastly hunger is insatiable.

again, ignition interlocks are one of those things where there basically *really is* a technological solution to the problem that greatly mitigates that tradeoffs, and it's a policy failure that they aren't mandatory for five years after your first DUI.
“Drunk and drugged driving is now so common in car-centric California that drivers routinely rack up four, five, six DUIs. One woman in Fresno just got her 16th.”
California has some of the weakest DUI laws in the nation. Here, DUI-related deaths have been rising more than twice as fast as the rest of the country.
But this fall, a state bill to strengthen DUI penalties was gutted at the last minute. calmatters.org/investigatio...
