#2Wish we had a hell of a lot more of these in the USA. Especially pet-free apartments. Something needs to be done about the service animal loophole though, far too many people abusing that system to bring e.g. pair of pitbulls into communities that only allow small dogs or the few rare gems that allow no dogs at all.

#3I find few things as obnoxiously childish as grown people that don't want to handle kids being around.

#4Modest idea: Moderately tax no-kids zones. Spend the money to subsidize services which are ~essential to those with young children (such as day care) and ~useless to those without.

#6> With young South Koreans already facing pressure on multiple fronts – from sky-high real estate costs and long working weeks to rising economic anxiety – critics of the zones say the last thing the country needs is yet one more thing to make them think twice about starting a family.
But no, let’s talk about the cafes, those are clearly the problem.

Why? Kids probably cause more property damage than pets do. Seems reasonable IMO.

#8A sad data point, proximate to anonym29's comment: 2 decades ago, the apartment complex I currently live in did not allow any dogs, and was swarming with small (and often noisy) children.
Now, the dogs greatly outnumber the children. And the monthly rent (with no real physical improvements) is nearly 3x higher.
