I used to drive my kids everywhere. I lived in the SF Bay Area and transit sucked. I moved to Vancouver, Canada and my kids can just roam around. Kids under 12 can ride for free on transit. The mall is 4 blocks away and there is a skytrain station there. I do track their phones but it is way safer.

I'm also from abroad and live in metro Vancouver, also have kids. Are you in Vancouver proper or the burbs? I'm pretty frustrated with walkability here, but Vancouver proper is just too expensive.
