It’s true that on MANY work days, especially with kids activities, I don’t feel like hanging out and or leave the kids on the street to play (yet).

However, there are the weekends in which is nice to meet with other parents, perhaps of similar situation, or just other neighbors even without kids; it’s nice to have neighborhood activities/events organized in nearby parks, etc.

I also haven’t even seen THAT many kids around the streets to be annoying even in WEEKENDS when we go to open houses – in most areas we’ve been(most of RB, PQ, CarmelMtnRd, Carmel Valley, SabreSprings, Scripps R). And certainly didn’t feel like tripping over 2-4 wheeled kids vehicles If it were like that during weekdays, then Yes, I’d probably start feel like BG. Weekends are different IMO. I’d like my kids to have friends in the neighborhoods that they can get to their houses without worry.

In which neighborhoods did you experience that, BG?

Edit – I said most. Occasionally I may have seen in earlier house searches 7 years ago some streets with lots of teenagers that could have been problematic – I think some were in PQ and in MM. But for the most, that was not the case.
