What that paragraph is saying is when you set policy, you must consider all the ramifications not only a single one. By considering the possibility no matter how remote, of a pedestrian fatality and saying that is more important than anything else, you can make some unwise decisions. You can spend all your resources on trying to prevent them at any cost while neglecting other priorities that are just as important. You could post all your traffic agents at intersections to help pedestrians cross the street instead of them giving out parking tickets depriving the city if needed revenue.Of course that would never happen. But let us suppose de Blasio decided to do just that. If I stated it was an over reaction and the city could not afford to lose that revenue, would you then argue I was valuing revenue over pedestrians' lives and he should be allowed to do that? |
