I like the skate park; glad it's getting done. Viable sport out there so why not accomodate it. Look at the caliber of professional athletes; drug users, drug dealers, spouse abusers, animals abusers, racists. Some skateboarders maybe smoking some weed? Big deal; weed will be legal or at least decriminalized soon anyway.

so what about the youth???

The Skate Park is the most important of those things...there is nothing much else for teens to do...you can't only cater to adults

Opportunity Corridor planners need a strong vision to avoid lowest common denominator development (Commentary) | cleveland.com

I really think it is great that Cleveland wants to branch away from downtown development and do something with the underdeveloped/vacant land on Cleveland's forgotten east side, but at $300+ million, it may not be the smartest move.
