The Lee family never intended a private park and 1959 was more than 60 years ago when Los Altos had been a city less than 10 years. Housing discrimination was still legal in PA. Foothill Park is the last legal vestige of the discrimination at that time. Environmental arguments are red herrings for justifying discrimination. The parks of Ca. are not an environmental disaster and and almost all are opened to the public. It is time for a change--starting with city council members.

Palo Alto City Council stands for diversity and inclusiveness, up to and including the expression of meaningless platitudes.

What's the problem? Charge us. I don't pay Palo Alto rent, I'm ok with paying a park entrance fee

Opening up Palo Alto parks is an idea long past due. Kudos to McCauley for acting on principle.
