You always look better (and less like an obstructionist NIMBY) when you are for something than when you are against it.
“I’m not against new buildings! I just want there to be more parks!”
We all know that none of these people actually will visit these giant fields more than once a year if at all...

Well, they might get some use by youth sports groups in theory, but the aging boomers holding onto property in Lincoln Park/Ranch Triangle are childless or empty nesters, and they won't allow the housing supply to expand so young couples and young families can move in.
So, the only kids using this park will be driving in from other neighborhoods. Because what this city
really needs is more soccer moms with minivans...
