Dana Point Has Gone BANANAs

* What’s this about parks not being welcome in Dana Point (“Parks Have Worn Out Their Welcome,” Jan. 25)?
Where have I been hiding out lately? I knew it was bad news when we lost our Park and Recreation Commission.
If a park is a haven for crime and violence as Councilman Mike Eggers contends, let’s do something about it, Mike! Brighter lights, more police surveillance. As far as attracting “undesirable elements,” a member of our Planning Commission, Carlos Olvera, thinks it’s partly the NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) syndrome.
I think it’s gone beyond that . . . it’s gone BANANAs. Build Absolutely Nothing Anytime Near Anything. Or, Ban Anybody Near Anything Now and Always--take your pick . . . (sigh).
