    It’s not that it’s unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it’s just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.

      This scene has nothing to do with car-centric city design

        I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You’re safer when there’s more people around.

            But if you’re stuck in the woods, do you want to come across a person or a car?

              Does the car have a person in it?

                It doesn’t, but beware it carries a terrible curse…

                    I think in this case it’d be “be were (car)”

            It’s harder to get shanked with people around you in the middle of the street

        I think you should leave

        Edit: lol guys, for real, how do you not get the joke…? It’s literally the source material for the meme. It’s the name of the show.

        E2: I think I should leave :(

          The meme is from the show Detroiters, but it has many of the same writers/actors
