Suburbs also used to have sidewalks, which made it easier and safer for younger children to explore a little. It just seems so bizarre to me to see newer ones with either sidewalks only on one side or the street or no sidewalks at all. I remember being very young and forbidden from crossing the street, but I pretty much had free reign of the sidewalk on the block I lived on.
