“‘and Los Angeles is looking at how to gussy and green up an old concrete river bed.’ That’s the best that can be mustered for what L.A. has done, in the same amount of time that NYC did the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, High Bridge and High Line, and Madrid created Parque Madrid Rio. New York has a tradition of great parks, great cities and great leadership, while, sadly, Los Angeles does not. See http://goo.gl/X2NEz. Robert Garcia, The City Project.”
