Good point on guitar, I guess I was thinking of piano, strings, and voice, which are quite popular where I live.

Sports can be cheap but in extreme cases of (sub)urban sprawl, getting to a field - or the field where an organized game is happening - is pretty difficult without a car. Also you can't really play organized, coached, team sports without your parents signing liability waivers.

You can play without litigation waivers in most non-US countries. You can also kick a ball around in the street.

Well, you say you can kick a ball around in the street, but signs prohibiting ball games are a common sight in the UK at least.

Are you serious? Don't they have anywhere to play? Like a park? I find it hard to believe that poor kids don't have anywhere they can play.

If not, I don't know how better off people in the UK can live with themselves. I would also be seriously concerned about my safety in those areas.
