"I have no alternative but to drive everywhere because I have kids" is such an insane indictment of how we've designed our country over the last 70 years

It really has changed in the last 40 years which makes me suspect that it has more to do with stranger danger and child abduction panics than with automobiles, though it'd be better for my narrative if that weren't the case.

I legitimately wonder to what extent car seat mania is just a well-meaning idea that got out of control vs a concerted plot to force parents to buy larger (use more gas and higher margin for manufacturers) vehicleshttps://twitter.com/eparillon/status/1218644140985999360?s=19 …

In Portland we buck this trend a little because we have decent public transportation and sidewalks. My 12 year old daughter and her friends regularly walk to/from school and for shopping, socializing.

I have a same age kid in PDX. It’s urban planning and bus routes, but also us saying: go take the bus downtown with your friends, I trust you.

Due to a couple of incidents my local mall implemented rules that forbid teenagers from being on premises without a parent/guardian. It’s the mall! Most of the stores are geared towards those kids as customers.

One of the weirdest things as a kid was experiencing this shift in real time. At age 16 things felt way more paranoid and restrictive than what was going on when I was 9-10. All thanks to multiple panics (sex, drinking, drugs, college/status anxiety etc)

Yeah, the only times I went anywhere as a kid were to parent-approved activities that they were willing to drive me to. In high school I started biking myself to some of those activities, but unfortunately I didn't take it a step further to use my bike for true freedom.

So is it really “stranger danger”, or the over estimation of it promoted by fear based reporting by yellow journalism news sources (basically all of them, especially cable)?
