we`re losing our green

I never thought of it
do parks ever expand and gain more land?
and for decade I hear they get overcrowded.
do you think it`ll be like silent running and we`ll eventually get rid of all parks?

In our city we buy up non buildable vacant lots and place them into a conservancy to protect them.

hey
that good news to me
I like hearing efferts to increase our green
but no grass roofs
I maybe good for the enviroment,but it just seems stupid to me.
I just don`t think it`s structurally sound

In Miami, they started out with a lot of parks, but gradually, the assholes in charge find "better purposes" for the land.

When I came to Miami in 1977, there was a nice grassy slope right on the bay in front of downtown.

They built "Bayshore Center", a shopping mall with expensive prices and expensive parking there and moved the library.

Then they built an ugly arena next to it, and an even uglier parking garage. What's left of the park is not visible from the land side and isn't used.
