We can see no justification from taking away public parkland from the poorest congressional district and handing it over to the richest sports franchise in the country.

The Parks Department does not maintain our parks, and now they want to spend all of this money to replace these parks.
The Yankees have been here for 82 years already and we haven't seen any benefits. It's a land grab in the poorest congressional district in the country for the richest sports franchise.
We're promised replacement parks, which are really park features. These will be five years down the road once everything else is finished. What is the community to do? What are the 40 some odd schools in the area who utilize these parks to do for all that time?
We don't want to stop the Yankees from developing their stadium, we just do not want them to do it on the public parks.
