Automobile accidents are the leading cause of child death.
- bpodgursky 5y agoThat's true. It's also true that people very, very commonly move to the suburbs once they have children, and it's not because those people are all morons.
- dionidium 5y agoI just turned 41 and my son turns one in January. I can think of a million reasons to leave the city and in fact my wife and I are strongly considering it, but the necessary reliance on cars in the suburbs is an enormous deterrent. I’ve lived that way before, so I know what’s bad about it. We are probably only going to consider walkable small towns (as opposed to car dependent exurbia).
