[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We used to play "street hockey" in the streets when we were kids. We would post a look out and everybody would shout "car" when cars came. Was this not a thing anywhere else in the country.

I am not sure why kids cannot play in the streets.[/quote]

We did that, except kickball.

Kids can play in the streets when drivers are willing to drive slowly and share the streets with kids.[/quote]

My kids would rather go to a playground. DC has extremely nice playgrounds.[/quote]

That's fine. Nobody is forcing your children to play street hockey (or whatever) instead of going to a playground.

I will point out, however, that older children - of the age to play street hockey (or whatever) - generally consider themselves to be too old to play at playgrounds with the little kids.[/quote]

There’s parks everywhere. DC has more green space than any other big city in America. This idea that kids need to play in the streets because there’s nowhere for them to go is very strange. Nearly everyone in the entire city is within a 10 minute walk to a park.[/quote]
