Keeping even "equality" in the quality of the residential environment of "North of El Camino" and the rest of the City is extremely important to a me and other social progressives. I know I live in a 'privileged' zoning (R1) area in South of El Camino. Park space galore (even Annex park space!)

The fair apportionment of PUBLIC MONEY for "equal access / per acre" is just a PUBLIC POLICY problem. It is not a money problem - if you allocate ALL FUTURE public P&R spending to addressing this inequality. [Thanks for 'the numbers' reporter Kevin]

TRADE Cuesta Park ANNEX (YIMBY) for parkland in an underserved North of El Camino area. This ANNEX has just functioned as a 'land bank' for what, 5 decades? It is time to take-it-outta-the-bank and spend it on on EQUALITY OF PARK/RECREATION service.
