>>Of course, not. I mentioned crime ridden neighborhoods; unfortunately usually, people living there have a lot less leverage in the policy making than white/wealthier communities.

Well, that's wrong. Racist, even. Doesn't government have a duty to do better than that? Perhaps this government will.

Apart from that, I think I've said what I wanted to say. How about I leave you with a recent example:

After a horrific nose-to-tail winter highway pile up, campaigners called for highway improvements at a cost of some $B. The idea gained leverage until somebody pointed out that mortality/morbidity from these catastrophic nose to tails over 5 years is about 5% of the total road toll. At which point discussion switched to whether a sensational 5% trumps the other 95% and at what cost. My point is that without denominators, people are reacting to the awfulness of a particular style of event rather than the most prevalent or reliably preventable event. Not worth arguing IMHO, we'll soon see what Sessions and Congress comes up with.
