As someone who's legally blind, this has always bugged me. It's like the trend of "dark mode", I've always found it easier to see white text on a black background but it seems like a relatively recent trend that it's becoming normal for apps/sites to actually be designed with that in mind.

Also as a slight tangent, public transportation! The US being so car dependant really hinders my independence, and better public transportation would benefit everyone (except car manufacturers, I suppose)
