"Restored parks and gardens bring environmental benefits like stormwater capture, and cleaner air that is cooler in the hot summer. These benefits ultimately create a healthier and happier city. But green improvements only add economic and social value to communities if they are adequately maintained. We all want a sustainable environment, and sustainable parks are maintainable parks."

— Our friends at New Yorkers for Parks have a beautifully written op-ed in Monday’s Daily News arguing against cuts to the budgets of parks and green spaces across the city. What do you think? Do parks, gardens, and open spaces make the city a better place to live? ~AR
