H said:No, I like and want children. I just follow my Grandfather’s attitude that children should be seen and not heard, and they really shouldn’t even be seen that often.![]()

Cardinal said:Where do I join? Add me to the list of people who would not like it at the level Budgie's ordinance permits. Twelve is too many kids for a residential area.

Budgie said:If I put up a basketball rim and a tether ball court in my backyard, how many kids would it attract daily. Better yet, how about a tramboline. I have three kids, each of which have several friends. Our house has always been open to visitors and it's not unusual to have 10 kids in our yards at once.
I don't disagree that child day cares likely reduce property values, but to what extent?
Once again, are there any studies out there.
