    20-foot lifted vehicles would probably be considerably safer:

    1. They’d easily have the clearance to safely navigate over most pedestrians in their path.
    2. Any attempts to balance them well would be incredibly expensive and you’d likely have many drivers whose cars would fall over from insufficiently sized tires or whatever.

    Hmmm… 🤔 Now that I think about it, maybe we should subsidize these lift kits to make this a self-solving problem
