street becomes a potential thoroughfare, and kids have to stay on sidewalks. Go to the burbs and practically every cul de sac is a de facto playground, with basketball hoops, skateboard ramps and bicyles strewn about. (Most suburbs have a pretty high incidence of parks as well, so the rug rats can get their grass fix too.) I'm an urbanite, but every time I take my son to the burbs to visit his in-laws, he gazes longingly at the suburban street culture.
