I simply don't understand why people view these "improvements" as a good thing? It's not. Union Square will lose 14 mature trees from this. What doesn't make any sense at all is that they want to triple the space of playgrounds from 5000 Square feet to 15,000. That means more tree cut down. The promise of more new trees? Where? It's all been concrete down by bathrooms and playgrounds. Where the hell would more tree's fit? It's rather foolish to think you can cut down 14 tree just to add more. Bloomberg is a liar. Was a liar from the start. This is why independants never make it to president. Because you'll never know what you're going to get. He was never a true republican. Republicans don't support illegals and nor do republicans change for the "better of the public", there is always a catch. New York has always been a liberating state! I am just supprized they didn't build affordable housing on top of the park. The one thing we as individuals have a right to which is now taken away by those savages... The right to public land. It just doesn't make sense how all this is deemed a better improivement?!. Look at what happened to the two parks near the Yankee Stadium? Destroyed to build a smaller stadium at a higher price. Their excuse? Cost efficiency. They said it would save the people money if they build a stadium from the ground up instead of making the current one handicap accessible. That is a lame excuse to fool minorities! What I am glad for is that now they must destroy the old stadium in place for the new larger park! Justice served! I am happy the people of that comunity have fought! Now if New York as an entire state could be head strong... We the people would be victorious!
