That’s what we are, a neighborhood association (NA) organized as part of the city’s system of NAs. However, we don’t get any support from the city, they certainly won’t help us with this, they’ll simply lambast us for not turning this property into a homeless shelter or whatever.

The city has been shutting down community centers right and left. Some neighborhoods have been leasing the buildings back from the city and running them with volunteers. That will last until some developer gets the land on the cheap and tears down the community center for luxury apartments.

We don’t have a community center, this property can potentially be one for us. It makes (made) 75-80% of its revenue on summer weekends, the rest of the time it isn’t much used.
