Even in supposedly bike and pedestrian friendly Minneapolis, the drivers are terrifying. The traffic dampening measures the city has put in do very little to slow the aggressive drivers, and there is next to zero law enforcement. Before becoming a parent, I was very deliberate about where I biked / ran / walked. Now with a toddler, I only walk a very limited number of specific routes at specific times of day that try to minimize potential interaction with drivers. After 8 years in NYC and 3 in Dallas, I was so excited to move here. Now I'm desperate to leave - 100% because of the drivers. But I haven't figured out where drivers don't dominate somewhat affordable urban living.
