Honestly, it's so tiring...the idea that there shouldn't be a building overlooking a park and playground is fundamentally ignorant, insular, and distrustful of people.

I *WANT* buildings overlooking parks where my little one plays because I WANT eyes on, I want foot traffic. Not because I worry about some nefarious behaviour, but because the most likely thing to happen is bullying or an injury, both of which are improved by eyes on. And this is borne out by the data.

Exactly this. Jane Jacobs' 'eyes on the street' has been a well understood concept for half a century now, let's get with it.
