Have you ever lived someplace which was designed for pedestrians over cars?
Historically, actually not. Before cars roads were for everybody, and people shared them with horses, streetcars, etc. It was a lot of really shady dealings between people that made cars and legislators that got a lot of “cars only” laws passed and started victim blaming pedestrians if they got hurt.
