    People talk about the lack of third spaces. The kids in my neighborhood are reduced to playing lime bike tag in the very busy Target parking lot.

      Yeah Google Maps made our once quiet 1/4 mile neighborhood road into a drag strip for Waze users trying to shave a minute and a half off their trip.

      I’m not suggesting playing in the street was a great 3rd space, but it’s now made it even more dangerous to get to the remaining 3rd spaces without a parent driving the kids to them.
