Given that some people jaywalk and cyclists run red lights, it's only fair that drivers crash into buildings every now and again. Given all the buildings in Boston, it's surprising it doesn't happen more often. /S

Ever try to navigate this city in a power chair? Lots of reasons why these folks use the street.

That's right fuck considering any injuries lets bicker about who's worst, drivers, cyclist, or pedestrians. Whether you want to believe it or not every single one from drivers to walkers are just as bad all around.
