That makes me feel even more sorry for them.

Sadly, these days, there is no where 'safe' for kids to run and play but in their homes, even if apartments.
Parents don't always have better choices available to them, however. I made pretty good money while I was raising my son, in California, but a single-family home was out of my reach, at least within driving distance of my work. While he was with me, I rented a duplex for a few years, but Long Beach wasn't a good place for a teenager, so I moved to a townhouse apartment in Anaheim, and that was much better. While there were other townhouses on each side of us, the townhouse had an upstairs and a downstairs, so there was no one above or below us, and we had two good-sized bedrooms, a large living room, a dining area connected to the kitchen, and a patio. Apparently, the walls were in pretty good shape because I don't recall ever hearing anything from my neighbors, nor did they complain about my son's music. Plus, there was a pool that was rarely in use by anyone but us. Still, many people couldn't afford that.
