Another problem is that kids have friends and want to go places with them. Add 1-2 friends and it's easy to fill most cars up.

- closeparen 5y agoSure, but a streetscape designed around and filled with 3 row SUVs is also why kids can't go places together under their own power.
- D13Fd 5y agoHonestly it's more the lack of sidewalks and spread-out houses. I used to walk everywhere as a kid, but we lived in a dense semi-urban area. Now I live in a spread out suburb, where no one bothered to have sidewalks, where the road has steep hills on both sides in many places, and where the cars drive very fast and don't expect to see people. (I don't mean to be defending SUVs here. In my view most people who need that size of vehicle would be better off with a minivan. But I was unable to convince my own wife of that...)
