I’ve got 2 little league games that Saturday at Girsh park, where am I supposed to park? In the past, “Deltopia” has always been on weekends that we don’t have games, but this year, it is. It is absolutely asinine to inconvenience an entire community just because there might be some college kids partying.
As someone who lives in the restricted zone, these efforts do absolutely nothing but inconvenience local residents and waste a ridiculous amount of local tax dollars. Why is college kids partying treated as such a terrible thing? Let them have their fun and stop wasting our time and money on asinine efforts like this.
