With respects to Councilmember Phan — I do agree that we cannot afford $3 Million dollars for <br /> the Washington Square Park. I applaud you for your candid remark and you stand correct. I live <br /> in the Willard neighborhood and a block away from Washington Square and this park would <br /> benefit my family; however, it is too expensive. I like the idea of the owner's coming down in <br /> price. <br /> For the record, I grew up in Washington square — on Louise Street, attended Wilson Elementary <br /> and then Willard Jr High School and this was before Louise Street was blocked off at 17th Street <br /> and also parameters put in off of Civic Center along with DO NOT ENTER signs from Washington <br /> crossing Flower St and from Washington crossing from Bristol. Us kids played in the street or at <br /> Wilson Elementary — we never had a park at a time when there was still penny candy, and we <br /> drank out of the neighbors hoses. Although I am sympathetic to the Washington Square <br /> residents and I do agree a park is long overdue; I cannot agree in spending $3 Million to do so. <br /> Thank you for all you do! <br /> Gay Olivos <br /> Ward 5 Resident <br /> p.s. Can you please add the Economic Development presentation from Mike Garcia to the <br /> notes? I was unable to pull it up and did want to make some comments on his presentation. <br /> z <br />
