One of those kinda-subtle policy things that seems to slip by communities.

Living in some pretty decent suburbs, I see this with my kids. They can walk/bike around, but there's a limited set of activities available to them. Not enough parks. As the article mentions, not enough kid-friendly third places (stores, arcades, libraries, community centres). It's lousy.

I had the same complaints when I lived downtown.
