Kids need bedrooms, more kids need more bedrooms. Especially as they grow older, teenagers probably should have their own bedrooms.

Urban living doesn't often give much space for kids.

Also have you ever been in a suburb? They usually have parks and playgrounds everywhere. Especially at the school that the kids attend, which is likely easy to walk or bike to for the kid.

Some suburbs have community centers.

Some suburbs in Calgary have private lakes with parks and playgrounds that kids can go to whenever they want. They can go skating on the frozen lake in winter, swimming in summer, in walking distance to home and without their parents.

Also in the suburbs houses have yards, which are even better than parks and playgrounds in some ways. My friends and I dug up a huge trench network in his parents yard one year. His parents were chill about it, we were allowed to go out with shovels and pickaxes and dig as much as we wanted really. Why not? They weren't using the yard for anything else and we had fun with it
