More green spaces

A Feb. 12 letter titled "Enough green space" caught my attention.

In my opinion, we are running short of these spaces.

People who want more green spaces don't mean spaces out in the middle of nowhere, they mean parks and gardens within the town or city where they can walk their dog or where their children can play. The grass by the side of Interstate 26 doesn't qualify.

We need more convenient green spaces. I think we should not forget that expanding on the national forest can count as green space. And for all the hunters, the more land that the forest contains, the more land you can hunt on.

So, all that affordable housing can wait because there are much better uses for the land.
