Same here, and we're lower middle class. Sounds like we're in the minority from the replies tho.

I'll contend that there are somewhat fewer places for kids to be kids cost-free - when I was young we had the run of the streets (within reason) and played in a lot of green spaces that are now at least half gone - backfilled with housing/developments. But they're certainly not gone entirely, and the playgrounds that do exist have better quality equipment, there's heaps of skate parks (very few when I was a kid), etc.
