Sure, you might get killed just on the drive between your home and the grocery store by someone on their phone in a pickup truck, but at least you don’t have to share a wall with another human!

If you ban loud bass I don't think I'd mind. Until then, no thank you.

Not sure what you mean. I've been to many lakes and have yet to hear any bass.

The murder risk in cities like Baltimore, NYC, and Chicago have nothing to do with cars.
Except the motor vehicle death rate in NYC is 1/5 of the national average and the nationwide motor vehicle death rate is higher than the NYC murder rate by around 3x.
A terrifying home invasion murder is such a world of difference from dying in a car accident. Comparing the two just ignores basic human psychology.
Majority of murders are among people who know each other. Partner violence, friends killing friends or street deal violence.

Home invasion murder is super rare.

Daww, a bonafide strawman.
