I think it depends on where you grow up and what&#x27;s valued in your area - but kids are very much influenced by their peers.  There&#x27;s still car culture - I wasn&#x27;t arguing that there isn&#x27;t - I was saying for your average high school kid in the little Texas town I&#x27;m talking about it doesn&#x27;t have the same influence it once did.  Of course I haven&#x27;t surveyed the kids so I don&#x27;t have anything beyond anecdotal data but I know the park is no longer encircled for hours by kids in cars every Sunday afternoon.  Their interests lie elsewhere.
