[quote=SD Realtor] . . . Oh yeah and how long ago was it that you raised kids bg?[/quote]
I’ve presently got one who attends a top-rated HS in the county (down here in that “other CV ghetto”), lol. I can assure you that they could and would know how to conduct themselves properly in the heart of the Newport Ave shopping drag (yes, day and night) as well as the beach and park.
As a matter of fact, my kid and a local friend of the same age are flying to SF soon, to stay with relatives and “entertain themselves” while the relatives work during the day. This includes taking the the bus out of Portrero and riding the cable cars and streetcars to SOMA and Union Square to shop, as well as several other areas there.
If you choose to lock your kids up in lizardland, muzzle them and vet all their “friends,” activities and TV programs, etc, you could easily end up with unsocialized morons who can’t even find a public restroom by themselves, IMHO.
The world out there beyond HS is NOT “cookie-cutter suburbia.” Your kids will realize this before you will realize that they realize it.
