They didn’t build a big concrete development that funneled storm drainage into the park, keeping it from becoming a swamp. So that was accomplished.

If a developer wants to develop that area, they can. If the city hadn’t conspired with this guy to let him bypass all the regulations that would keep him from ruining the park, this wouldn’t have been on the ballot.

I think it’s a bullshit false choice to say that our only choices were this deal or nothing. Now that guy can sell the land to someone else who can submit a plan that doesn’t fuck up the park.
