It’s not organized enough.

Also 17 year old kids, the vast majority of which have never taken on significant debt and have no frame of reference for the scale of obligation they’re taking on.

It blows my mind that we look at an 17 year old and, as a government, we say, “Alcohol? Too young and immature. Handguns? Too young and immature. Tobacco products? Too young and immature. Voting? Too young and immature. Enlisting in the military or want to take on 5 or 6 figures of debt that will drive your major life decisions for the next few decades? Sign here.”

On a local road near me, the (financially well off) residents along the street complained to the city about speeding, so they did targeted enforcement and while there’s always some speeders, the average driver on that road did indeed slow down to the posted limit.

Not good enough. The people there kept complaining that 25 in a 25 was dangerous and kept bitching to the city until they installed like 20 speed bumps in less than 1 mile of roadway. You can’t even get back to the posted speed limit now between bumps unless you’re constantly flooring it and slamming the brakes, so now the whole area is clogged with traffic going 8-12mph.

…now the residents are complaining about all the exhaust from the traffic and how they can’t find openings in traffic to cross the street except at the one traffic light and one stop sign along that stretch.

Basically they want to turn the road…a main throughway between three big neighborhoods…into their own private drive, and they’ll bitch constantly about not having that.
