I thought I was giving my kids the best childhood ever until my 4-year-old asked why we didn't own a 'bigger golf cart'

Having one instead of a car isn't overconsumption, but the woman in this article clearly has both. It's a problem.
This seems exclusive from that.
So, where I come from, there's nothing to drive to in the neighborhood except other houses. Also, a neighborhood is at most a square mile. That's all I envisioned.
What, exactly, did you even mean by "neighborhoods"? It's starting to sound like you're talking about driving several miles.
It can be several miles since my friend's one goes for 40km. Your neighbourhood is yours, we have lots of places to go to between neighbourhoods and districts, and lots in each.
Again, I was just envisioning going around the neighborhood, not going all over a town or city.
That is around the neighbourhood as they can be quite large; it can also be 40+ degrees here, which the baby cannot manage. It means they can go to a restaurant, a cafe, get the shopping, go to a place where it's nice to walk, then home again, perhaps a 2-3km little trip within their neighbourhood.
