I have patronized the parks and recreation facility in st johns and must admit that the usage level seemed low, considering the size of the property. BUT, demographics are changing in the area and i foresee a time when the current usage will be fully utilized. Already in the few years i have been acquainted with the faciltiy, wait times have increased dramatically. Although tennis is a space hungry sport usually reserved for the liesure class, I'm sure that many influential people are players and would look disprovingly upon the demolition of this facility in the name of business-as-usual "condos and retail space", further erosion of Portland's offbeat culture. Here's an idea: knock down some of the seedy bars on the main drag and erect your developer wetdreams there!
