That's why I personally cannot fathom living (and having a family) in a large town/city.
I grew up in a village and I felt like I owned it, a few roads of course but they had to careful, not us.
I believe that sort of mentality helps a lot in feeling connected with a place and not just a foreign object who has to take armored vehicles (e.g. Cars) to move from point to point.

We're lucky to be an older neighborhood (for the area), thus we have smaller roads, which are easy to navigate for kids. I think the main issue is (1) do you trust your neighbors, (2) are the streets safe (i.e., small), and (3) can you not be an anxious wreck.
