This is why, even when you look at the underreported stats from the Netherlands, cyclists have very high rates of head injuries. They don’t wear helmets, have the gold-standard cycling infrastructure, yet crack their head open.

This is just completely wrong. Netherlands overall has half the per-capita TBI deaths as compared to the US. Now, is a higher portion of their TBI deaths bike-realated -- I mean sure, because lots and lots of cycling is done there -- and not as much car-driving. But your chances of getting your head smashed is lower overall compared to the US, even with our stupid obsession with helmets.

Idiocracy

Federal housing policy has always been about inflating housing asset values. The Harris "plan" is just more of the same. Anyone who thinks either party actually wants to lower housing prices is delusional.
