Some people live in neighborhoods where a 7th grader can walk to the public library and others don’t. Some people live in a neighborhood where an 8th grader can walk to a corner store for ice cream after school and then play in a park for an hour before heading home- and others don’t.

And some people live in neighborhoods where their kids can walk to school, the library, the corner store, and the park on their own, but still choose not to let their kids do things on their own.
