1. Maybe, but we used to play in the street all sorts of ball sports as kids. All the cars were in their garages/car ports, and when a car, roughly every 10minutes came by, we'd yell, 'Car' and step aside. Now, my parent's same house has tons of extra cars on the streets (more affluent families?) and the street has become a thoroughfare as people try to avoid traffic on the main roads. It would be impossible to play on the street today.
