So tell me what their idea of more "structure" is? What do they see as a problem?
I empathize w/ your position, in fact I'm just curious as to the city's line of thinking. I guess it's not surprising they want control over a visible, positive outlet since everything else they try to control turns to SHIT. Before kids started to go here, it was just another destination for drunks and crackheads to sleep it off.
Control control control, control is the name of the game. How do they expect to control this when they can't solve some basic quality of life issues for their residents?
I happened to see a large white man in a yellow safety vest yesterday, with a camera and sheathed machete inside the park, photographing the walls.
It's a fucking shame this is what our tax dollars get used for in a city where it's easier to cop a bundle than a book.
