[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DPR has a wack-a-mole maintenance strategy. That doesn't work for Hearst already and now they want to spend $12 million to cover 40 percent of a 2-acre grass field with concrete. Thanks but i don't need an extra helping of urban blight in my neighborhood. [/quote]

It took a while but finally one of the immediate neighbors has revealed what this is really about - fear of something urban coming into their neighborhood.  And by urban I doubt very much what they are concerned about when it comes to "urban blight" is physical in nature and has more to do with the fear about others.[/quote]

As someone noted earlier, Hearst Park and Hearst school are heavily used by people who don't live in North Cleveland Park.  It's also true that a lot of people value the presence of a leafy green park and fail to see why it should be paved with concrete.  Perhaps cement and no trees are your view of urban living, but that's not what many value in our neighborhood.  Green, not gray![/quote]
