Arguing axiomatically then, I think the decline in roving bands of kids is directly tied to 2 completely different issues than you. The first is the end result of 50 years of car centric city planning. It is unsafe for kids to rove in many places. The second is the gutting of local public schools. Because wealthy parents are now encouraged to transport their children to far away schools and non-school affiliated activities the family spends all of its time in cars away from their neighborhood. And for what it’s worth roving bands of kids are a common occurrence here in Hyde Park Chicago. It’s one of the reasons I live here.
