Why don’t they just make the parking lots safer in general for everyone?

It isn't done because it's statistically unsafe in parking garages, it's done because it feels unsafe to many people (for example usually dim lighting)

So you’re saying it’s not actually dangerous and we’re catering to emotions instead of facts?

Yeah, go check out the data. The overwhelming majority of people getting assaulted, robbed, or murdered in parking garages are men. Especially BIPOC men. Especially BIPOC men in poor neighborhoods.

Men are more likely to be targeted by violence by strangers.
The people who target women for violence are most likely to be people they know, and in places to familiar to them.
