One person claims the park never gets used. The next person says there are always people hanging around it, and that bothers him. These people can't even get their stories straight.

I'm sorry, fucking what? Women are supposedly (according to some dude) more scared of the area because of the placement of some shrubbery?

Typical "driver begs for all things to be sacrificed to the alter of parking" story. Wide pavements? why not parking? Tree? parking! Restaurants? houses? office buildings? But the purpose of a city is to maximise local parking!
