Does waiting 45 years for their access and fields have no negative impact?

I don't want it privatized, but at some point you have to fucking deliver.

Honest question, do you know the history of the park? Because for most of those years privatization wasn't stopping ball fields and active use, Friends of LSP was.

That's not to say there hasn't been a shit load of awful proposals over the years (amusement parks, etc.) but the people 'protecting' the park have also been, until basically last week, vehemently opposed to any active recreation.

The local community has every right to be skeptical of pretty much everyone.

I’ve been waiting my entire life for the interior of the park to be opened. I don’t support fireman but he clearly saw the opportunity Pessins lack of action created.

Not lack of action, intentional obstruction because he wanted a completely passive park.

Agreed. I don’t think he ever wanted the interior opened and did everything he could to delay it. That gave Fireman a lot of valid ammunition.
