The Dream of a Really Kick-Ass Playground Still Lives!

by Goldy — Tuesday, 1/27/15, 7:35 am

Yeah, yeah, I agree with the Seattle Times that we need to build a downtown elementary school to keep the downtown core family friendly (you know, like a real city). But what really jumped out at me from their editorial was this:

But opening a downtown school is also an implicit contract that Seattle will do better to make its core safe and accommodating for families. That means more vigorous attention to obvious disorder and open-air drug markets, as well as downtown playspace for children.

I have been advocating for years to build a Really Kick-Ass Playground™ in downtown Seattle. Could the editors of our city’s paper of record finally be willing to lend their voice towards this much needed civic improvement?

    Sigh…

    When will you learn? The right wing is not opposed the the elements of a civil society, they’re just opposed to paying for them.

    I would add,” so long it benefits them ”
    I see a track record of repubs objecting to anything free or not if they don’t get something from it.
