Let's say that huge gaggle of kids is is 850 children. New York has some 8 500 000 people living in it. That's an adult-to-kid ratio of one to ten thousand.
It's really hard to estimate birth rates by observing people, as our brains just aren't equipped to handle the numbers present. We see the hundreds of children, and flat out refuse to believe there's a decline in births.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoYou can't compare a gaggle of kids in one particular part of Park Slope to the greater New York City metropolitan area and draw a ratio from that. I might as well say that the ratio of rats to people in the city is one-to-eight-million because I saw one rat this morning.
- nikanj 9y agoI think we're saying the same thing. You can't say NY is child friendly, just because you saw a lot of kids at the park.
