And I’d highly doubt that it would reduce fatalities in motor vehicle accidents on residential roads affected by the drop. The last one wouldn’t have been prevented by a lower limit since it was a left turning van vs. motorcycle

Like I mentioned, the case studies/examples have been poorly demonstrated. Lets not making it exclusive to fatalities, as injuries and property damage should also be attributed.
We know we can drive 10-15% faster than posted limits, without being ticketed in most cases.
In Mission/Cliff Bungalow, go drive 60km/hr - down 18th/19th/20th/21st Avenues. That's my anecdotal reason behind my want for reduction.
