I surmise that if a coach can teach a kid how to
play football/basketball/baseball or any of the popular
European/Caribbean futbol/soccer, there are rules, principles
and penalty infringements that even a disadvantaged youth
seem to grasp extraordinarily well. A certain structure.

Yes, I know we have problems, and maybe a bigger effort needs to be made in our

I see it too, and that's my point. If the city focuses on the success of just
the sports participants and not the population at large, nothing will change.
If the focus is on the minority number of students playing football, then the

I guess $1m isn't that much of the annual budget. Let's say the field lasts 10

That's $100,000 per year.

I think that comes out to over half-a-billion dollars.

Prior to implementing the paid parking, several Cookman business's were
complaining that they weren't getting much traffic because it was hard for the

Cookman midweek is tough. If the spaces were filled with residents and

I parked out front because my car was full of musical equipment and I decided
to take a chance and see what would happen.
I'm not going to buy the pass. Maybe when they analyze revenues after a few

Sept and May.
Some places paid parking is actually great for business, in regards to

It could be good for business for other reasons too. For example, i never
shop at Lush because there's no parking and the nature of what i'm buying is
