I use 11 Avenue DT quite often and jaywalkers seem to be a real problem. And I am not talking addicts, but suits from nearby offices. My girlfriend recognized one of her company's executives jaywalking a couple of weeks after they had this big safety meeting over such things.
Sure, you can jaywalk as far as I am concerned, but first purchase insurance which will pay for scraping you off my car, fixing it, and for my physical/psychological treatment. The same goes for cyclists who weave through traffic. I have to pay if I run you over, so you pay if you cause me to run you over.
