Surprised in a /c like this that no one is talking about how you can prevent this on a systemic level with public transportation and mixed zoning.

I live 600 feet from a pub. If I went out of my area I can take one of several different busses to get back within walking distance to my apartment. Don't have to worry about getting home if you can walk there.

The biggest issue with American solutions is they always look at problem solving backwards. You want to fix society level issues on the society level. Expecting people to fix it themselves never works or we wouldn't already be in this mess
