Please explain how City Hall getting into the gardening/landscaping business helps its citizens?

Please provide the actual tax revenue reduction that will happen when Sam uses OUR money to buy and take 419 acres off the tax rolls.

This Greenspace crap is out of control. We've already voted for 2 Greenspace measures that have taken 6000 acres off the tax revenues. What is not explained is the continuing costs to maintain these green areas. What is the cost of maintaining 950 street side bio-swales ripe with grasses and flowers?

No wonder Mike Houck (Urban Greenspaces Institute) is an honorary member of the ALSA (American landscape architects).

According to the plan, the money is coming from Sewer fees. My water/sewer bill is now my most expensive utility. Now its going up again to pay for this!
