Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere. Parents have been arrested for picking up their child from school on foot, as in walking to school.

Due to that, and the kidnapping/child predator scare, children depend solely on their busy parents to drive them everywhere for every social interaction.

where do you live that there's not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?
