Speaking of kids, the distribution and location of schools is a huge factor in where people choose to live in the US, relative to where they work. It would be interesting to also look at statistics on school sizes and locations relative to other countries.
- Moru 7y agoJust one data point: north Sweden, three schools and 4 daycare, 2km radius.
- esotericn 7y agoNorthern Sweden is interesting because there's a ton of space, but really nothing outside of the cities. I've just finished up a job in Luleå and effectively everyone seems to live either in the city or in suburbs that are about 10 minutes drive away. If you gave that sort of space over to the Americans you'd have little towns _everywhere_.
- Moru 7y agoThe Germans are slowly taking over the North so mabe ;) Bikes are well used here and 3-4 km is no problem to bike on flat land, not even if you're untrained. Bike roads are usually straighter to goal and plenty of parking in front of all doors.
