I’ve been told that fences do not work
I’m kinda shocked that it is only $2.3 million. That’s not enough to spread around the graft
LA Cultural Heritage Commission Voices Opposition to Fence MacArthur Park
The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission Thursday voiced their concerns over a proposed project to install a fence around MacArthur Park, arguing it would alter a cultural historic monument that has been an open landscape for Angelenos and visitors to enjoy more for than 100 years.
The Cultural Heritage Commission briefly discussed a letter Thursday morning in which they expressed their opposition to the project. The letter was sent to the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and its associated board of commissioners, who are overseeing the proposed fencing project.
“While the Commission is sympathetic to the Department of Recreation and Parks’ operational challenges and safety concerns, the commission is apprehensive about the concept of closing off a civic monument to the public,” according to an August 17 letter signed by Cultural Heritage Commission President Barry Milofsky.
“More specifically, the commission questions the appropriateness of the apparent permanency of the fence, as well as the height, proposed to be between 8- and 11-feet at various sections,” the letter continued.
It’s pretty much budgeted for, and they are getting ready for construction. It’s is ironic that the sanctuary city of Los Angeles wants to fence off MacArthur Park to keep all the homeless (that the city does everything to tempt to come to LA) while saying that walls along the border do not work.
One wonders: what “cultural heritage” would the fence keep out, the junkie culture?
