The new law permits pedestrians to cross a roadway at any point, including outside of a crosswalk. It also allows for crossing against traffic signals and specifically states that doing so is no longer a violation of the city’s administrative code. But the new law also warns that pedestrians crossing outside of a crosswalk do not have the right of way and that they should yield to other traffic that has the right of way.

Don't live in rural areas. Those should be wildlife habitats, tbh.

So people should only live in dense, crowded cities? Because even in the suburbs it's not possible to grocery shop without a car.

Suburbs can ultimately be redesigned (and I'd argue they should, for a number of reasons)

Yeah but until then a man's gotta eat lol and I don't see them putting grocery stores every 2 miles any time soon.

Given most grocery stores compete more than anything on location, that does surprise me, but you're not wrong.
