TOTAL OVERREACH. Alexandria has gone too far this time.
Let them keep their land. Stop bullying private organizations just to build more concrete parks nobody asked for.
The city council needs to stop this nonsense. Why cant they just take the deal offered and leave the club alone?
Keep your hands off the boat club. It is a landmark and the city is just grabbing land because they can.
