These are not recreation facilities -- no ball courts, pools, etc. -- why would you want your amenity fees to pay for them?

TV has very few peaceful green spaces that are open to humans; most of the open spaces are designated "preserve", fenced off with no access permitted. If people make a big stink about Live Oaks Park, we can be sure that no more beautiful spaces like this one will be planned for the new areas.

I trust every word of your post because I know you speak with a lot of experience and background in this area of city planning. I was wondering about this and now I know what to think. Thank you Bike42.
