There is also the typical NIMBY argument of how they want their green space kept, even though they don't own the land or pay the property taxes on it.

Gotta love the NIMBYs. It's currently a restaurant, so there is no green space there now. I recommend they fundraise the millions needed to purchase the land and fund construction of a park.
