I find that cars are often unwilling to stop -- and interestingly the willingness to stop seems to vary from street to street. I don't think it is a matter of cars simply not seeing pedestrians it is a matter of not being willing to stop.

In Corvallis (on Van Buren & Harrison) I often see cars chaning lanes so that they are not behind a car that is slowing down to allow a pedestrian to cross.

While I understand a desire to save money it seems to me that elections and voter information are a central aspect of government. And that huge private expendatures are distorting the process.
