Good point man - Portland has parks figured out. Denver does too. I know the article touched on it - but we have a serious need to let kids get out. Free play. Adventure. Skinned knees, broken arms... It's harder said than done though. People seem to think that kids under about 12 are "too young" to be alone and over 13 they're hoodlums and a nuisance.

    There will be less need for free lunches when the town settles into being a retirement home for wealthy people.

Too right.
