Honestly I'm on the fence about this. There are probably some good reasons for this and equally bad reasons, but I don't think the kids really care though.
A previous article was written by somebody in my neighborhood who was against this. Not sure she wants to talk to me anymore because I didn't completely buy in to her side of it.. she is 80 though. I'm not going to sit there and argue with an 80 year old lady in the street.
