When kids don’t have any other places to go? Yes I’d say it’s a sacrifice. There’s no reason for quiet suburban streets to have speeds as high as 50km/h, which can kill kids if they get hit, especially by oversized american trucks and SUVs.
Kids have plenty of places to play. Stop making shit up so you can feel like you’re making a point. It’s fucking stupid to think kids should be playing in streets!
Ffs. You people are entirely out of arguments to make if this is a hill even worth fighting over.
Like where? Where's the nearest public access park or football pitch or playground that a kid can wander into any time of day to play with their friends?
