If it's not a building, it's a bus stop shelter, or a light/power pole, or a group of pedestrians, or cyclists, or e-scooter riders...

We can only design infrastructure to be safe up to a certain extent, but we really need to be getting people out of cars.

Car-dependent cities and public safety are in conflict with each other, so local and provincial governments really need to decide which is the priority. You really can't have both.
