still the case in my puertorican neighborhood in chicago.
- spamizbad 8y agoYep. Same for me in boring old Jefferson Park. I’m looking forward to when my kids are old enough and I can just send them out of the house and play.
- selectodude 8y agoCities are remarkably old-school. It's the suburbs that are the scourge on childhood development. Which is ironic because the whole reason people moved to the suburbs was that they were "safer for children".
- hsljekskfh 8y agoi just moved to portland from sf and my experience has been the opposite. the city west of the river is almost entirely suburbs with 20mph speed limits where bikers, teenagers, house cats and kids walking dogs all feel pretty safe.
