Suburbs are bad for kids?

[holden]

I watch this channel on city planning and design. The creator grew up in London, Ontario and has pretty strong views on modern car-centric city planning (he really hates Houston). I remember seeing a clip of Macleod Trail in a video he has about the dreaded "stroad" (a road too wide and fast to be safe for pedestrian safety while also being too narrow and slow for efficient movement of cars).

I can definitely see the attraction of living in a neighborhood where the kids can walk everywhere without having to be driven, unfortunately those types of places in Canada are usually inner-city and very expensive.

I don't want to raise a kid in the suburbs because there's too many other kids there.

I also heard drugs are bad m'kay.

I think suburbs aren't as bad as they once were, but it would be nice if they were built in a slightly more walkable manner as a matter of initial design. I've been raising my kids in a neighborhood that realtors call "inner city" for 13 years, and it's certainly not perfect, I do overall think I made the choice that fit me best.
