[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree last thing to worry about, but I liked Hearst green (grass). It was only used for informal soccer, but was a nice shaded park and a green space as noted. Mosquito infested due to the drainage... hope they can get a handle on that. [/quote]

Fake plastic grass covering a four acre field is an environmental disaster. [/quote]

The uber environmental types claim the opposite. The turf is constructed out of repurposed materials and no water or maintenance is required once construction is complete. This is the same crowd that wants you to stop cutting your lawn, raking the leaves or heaven forbid hiring a gardener.[/quote]

Don't we want "lungs" in the city (ie green space) so as to breathe?[/quote]

I think that the environmental types (the same ones that want to ban your electric car because at the end of the day it is still...a car) would be happy with a wild grass field that was left alone and just grew or was a flooded bog. But they do not like grass fields that require lawn mowing, lining for sports, watering, heaven forbid fertilizing, or anything in general which allows the field to be enjoyed (mosquito spraying). So short of a wild grass field or bog, recycle artificial turf is actually their preferred route because it does not need any of the aforementioned services. Is it hot: yes. Is it smelly: yes. Will it get torn when people use equipment on the field that is not supposed to be on turf: yes. Will it be much more expensive to replace a few years down the road: yes. But in the meantime, you have no water bill and no groundskeeper hired.[/quote]

I was OK with it being a sort of fallow boggy grass field that processed CO2 into O.[/quote]
