Admittedly reading this at a red light so can’t read the full article until I get home but I wonder how much economics factor in here. I’m thinking children who are able to take more trips to “blue spaces” are also more likely to be in better off economic situations to begin with.

Not really. In Arkansas they are poor as hell but everyone spends their weekends and summers at the lakes and rivers. We are gifted with bluespaces here and it doesnt cost us to see it.

Ah yes, this single anecdote clearly means everyone regardless of location and economic status has the same opportunities.

What a myopic viewpoint of the world you have.

People have access to nature unless they live in a cery large city. That isnt a single ancedote. You are thinking ocean or big trip. Im daying a local pond, river, or lake which is literally almost everywhere can count. Poor people have access to look at lakes and rivers. You calling my viewpoint myopic is quite laughable.

The way you talk makes you sound very bitter and angry, and it seems uncalled for.
