How many non-tourist children do you see in the Chicago Loop? How many in Manhattan? How many in downtown LA? Cities inherently are not family friendly and not places many people want to raise their children. That's why the suburbs exist. It's not a San Fransisco problem, it's a city problem. Parents tend to want large private fenced-in green places for their children to grow up in, which don't exist and cannot exist in cities.
Again, there are enough family-friendly places that exist that you don't need to fret for the future generations not spending their childhood playing street hockey on Broadway.
- ardit33 7y agoManhattan has plenty..... especially Upper West Side, and UES, and Kips Bay area (I have a school nearby, so see them everyday) and there is a high-school right next to Madison Park, and the East Village is dotted with schools. I know this as I play rec. Volleyball during the winter, and they are always held at local school's gyms. While I agree the west side of midtown doesn't have many though... (Hells Kitchen/Chelsea/West Village) as they are not necessary family friendly areas. Same for Brooklyn, While you maybe not see any in Williamsburg, If you go to Park Slope, it is stroller nation..... you'd be out of place if you are young and single... just saying...
