> Suburbia may have little traffic, but they are also devoid of "third places" where teens can be teens.

Could you unpack this? I grew up in a small town, moved to a very walker/public transit friendly city for 10 years, and now live in a close suburb. I didn’t really see any extra third spaces geared towards teens in the city. In fact, I rarely saw kids out on the street or congregating anywhere. In the suburb I am in now, they are everywhere, biking to each others houses and hanging out in the town center.
