Forget food pantrys and the like, they can be polarising, a lot of people resent handouts to adults.
Publicity is in sex, animals and children - in that order.
I am sure there are plenty of poor children that could benefit from a food pantry. It doesn't just have to be for adults.
And I look at it from the perspective of actually helping someone, not what gets the most publicity. The point to maza shouldn't be to just drum up interest/newspaper articles, but to actually help someone.
But it will never help anyone if the price doesn't go up, and quickly.
EAC started with similar intentions and had a better, safer start than Maza, but it is now on the floor because people couldn't be realistic and pragmatic about it's future.
And how is a playground not helping someone?
Anyway, you've all got hung-up on it being a playground, it was only a suggestion, so what do you suggest?
