When I read this article, I thought of growing up in the suburbs. The suburbs I grew up in are ideal for the adult who wants to have a large house and minimal contact with strangers, but they are something very different for the adolescent child who is craving experience and contact with the outside world.

It would be hyperbole to call the suburbs an example of a dystopia for teenagers created in an attempt to create a kind of utopia intended for parents. But I have to admit that was the first thing that popped in my head as I read the article.
