I think the reality is somewhere between Matsuoka's fears and Kaulukukui's understanding.  Unlike Matsuoka, I think the City can find a way to upgrade and manage the park better.  The park's potential to be a great gathering place for the community is woefully under maximized.   On the other hand, Kaulukukui and the City's vision needs to be better described and vetted to the community.  Why don't you two get together and collaborate for the benefit of all.
