Two weeks after they were told about the city's proposal to demolish the neighborhood playground and build a parking lot, Diana approached Tony as they were heading to another neighborhood improvement group meeting.

"Tony," she said, "I know this parking lot plan has come between us. But don't you see that the neighborhood kids NEED a safe, local place to play? We've made do with bad parking for years, and I know it's a pain. But there is no way that having your car closer to your house is more important than safe, happy kids."

Tony was immediately defensive. "I can't believe you said that! Of course I care about the kids! But I also care about old people like me getting mugged walking from the car to the house! Three people got robbed in the neighborhood in the last four months, all of them over 60! You have plenty of other options for keeping your kids safe- closer parking is the only way I can stay safe too."
