West Side is the best side! No new parks for the east!
Ted Ferguson says
“…We need strong board members who are willing to do the right thing, which is allow every citizen a park within walking distance from their home in WUP.”
EVERY park in West U. is within walking distance. The city is only 2 square miles. Hell, the new park in Bellaire will be within walking distance for West U. residents. Want a park that’s closer than that? Grow some plants in your backyard and add a bench.

Granny is walking to the park? Poor granny. No one will give her a ride? I’d say she has bigger problems than a park.

Ted, you are cruel in thinking granny doesn’t need to get out and walk a little. I’d hate to be your granny! Parks are to be within walking distance from everyone, not just in one section of WUP. It’s time to consider voting for people who understand the concept of “The will of the people”, and “fiscal responsibility”. Citizen input falls on deaf ears.

“Ted, you are cruel in thinking granny doesn’t need to get out and walk a little.”
So let her walk a little to one of the parks we already have. She’ll be fine. She survived the Germans.

Ted, you’re not listening. WUP parks are NOT within a 10 minute walk from every citizen. I see you don’t mind discriminating against people. You don’t care if some citizens get services and others don’t. You seem to only be concerned with yourself. Do you work for WUP?
Ted Ferguson says
No, and I don’t understand why you’re obsessed with a “10 minute” walking distance. Is this an A.D.A. standard that you can cite, some obscure federal law, or what are you basing this on? What law can you cite that requires this? An elderly person may not get far in 10 minutes, but I can walk clear across the city in that time. 10 minutes at what speed and for whom? A “10 minute walk” sounds like an arbitrary standard that you have pulled out of thin air for the purpose of creating a solution to a nonexistent problem. Explain this nonsense.

That’s a skillful answer to a dilcifuft question
