I'll jaywalk or cross on a red sometimes but I'll be damned sure no cars are inbound.

I dunno. I have been driving downtown a lot recently, and I just keep my head up and haven't had any problems. My only contention is people jaywalking across 17th Ave in the morning when the sun is shining right in your eyes.
There are just too many things going on downtown between cyclists, pedestrians, and other cars that it is the last place I'd take my eyes off the road or not be constantly scanning around to see what could pop up from around a vehicle that has come to a stop.
