RE: Can parks revive decaying U.S. cities?
Sure, then all those unemployed union workers in Cleveland could either get a job tending the park, or at least have a place to enjoy their unemployment on a bench surrounded by trees, birds, and squirrels.
And since these communites are broke and have lost 50% of their population, just get some free public money! yeah, that's it. Since we're bankrupt, let's borrow more money and that way we can borrow our way out of debt...
