What about the older children makes them car-dependent? Don’t you worry they’ll miss out on the cultural richness of the city? I grew up in the car-dependent village lifestyle (albeit in the US, which is surely less livable than the European interpretation) and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone’s children.

- holoduke 5y agoI don't think that's the case in the Netherlands. In cities you hardly ever see older children playing outside. Hardly any place to do so. In villages children can play in forrests or just down the road. A city is crowded and busy. not a good and healthy place to grow up. A bit too artificial in my opinion.
