I came around this article about East River State Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It caught my attention that the government is insisting on opening a Brooklyn Flea in the park on concrete space. Many people are worried that the flea market will not only take up the park’s concrete space but also, it will take up the grass/ nature of the park. The issue here is that the public is generally not for this flea market despite the few who say as long as the flea takes up concrete space, they are okay with it. Even though people are not happy with the government’s decision, the government is still planning to go through with their idea to bring a Flea to the park.
I plan to go visit the park and see if I could speak with park workers and people from the community to gather how people truly feel about this possible change. If people do not agree with a plan of the government, then why can’t the government listen to what the people would like or at least listen to the people’s suggestions.
