Drivers are on average richer than pedestrians.

In America, with our current wealth disparity, that leaves their interests wildly over-represented in policy and infrastructure.

More like voters are on average more likely to be drivers than pedestrians, so politicians favor drivers. In my experience this is even more true for poor voters as they generally can’t afford to live in walkable areas.
