>>1782101>no one told me?Guess not. I'm going to blow your mind: there already are fully private parks in NYC and the land they're on doesn't get paved over, because that would damage property values. Pic related, you won't recognize it because people like you aren't allowed inside the gates.
Central Park is public-private, it's protected and maintained by an organization funded by a handful of oligarchs living on the streets immediately surrounding the park, people whose last names adorn the neighborhoods, streets, and other landmarks across the region. Keeping it the way it is maintains the essential character of the surrounding neighborhoods. Did you think it was a charity for the poor or something?
