Prop. K, to close part of the Great Highway to car traffic, explained in 60 seconds

Voted no.
A new park of this scale would compete with existing neighborhood amenities. Howard Langton Garden to Garfield Pool, Rec and Park are already stretched thin.
The Yes on K answer to the question “Where is the funding coming from to make the park?” at the recent Reddit AMA makes it sound like the cost of running such a new park was merely a zero sum game, if not a gain even! However, unless we’d accept that this new park was going to be buried in sand once the windy season kicks in – it’s not. And in light of SF’s economic reality, people across town are at risk of losing pool hours and playground maintenance.
For reference, the full AMA answer:
“The funding to manage and make improvements to the park if Prop K passes will come from the Rec and Park budget, as does funding for all San Francisco parks. Prop K authorizes Rec Park to restrict private vehicles, which will unlock the ability for Rec Park to actually treat the space like a park by doing things like adding seating, play structures, etc. JFK Promenade shows us examples of simple improvements that Rec Park can make with no new funding, which increased visitation by 36% there. Important context is that the Great Highway is already Rec Park land, and has been since the 1870s. Rec Park has authority to make improvements to all of its park spaces without any need for additional legislation. In this case, what’s preventing park improvements is that park features – seating, play structures, art, etc. – get in the way of cars that return on weekdays. We’re fortunate that our parks are well maintained – and in this case, the City Controller has analyzed the measure and reported that managing the space as a park promenade will save the City millions of dollars because maintaining the GHwy as a roadway is so expensive. Longer term, we’d personally be excited to see the space adapted even further to allow for more expansive rehabilitation of the dunes and more natural landscaping. A long-term project would be subject to normal park planning processes and involve heavy community engagement (similar to how Crissy Field was created, for example) and may, like other city parks, tap into a combination of funding sources, including state, federal, and private, to enhance access to and enjoyment of the coast.”
