Converting parks to more housing isn't really a density issue, it's more like does Seattle want parks or not?

Imagine converting Central Park in NYC to more housing.

The discussion is not converting Discovery Park to housing. That is a myth pushed by the Magnolia Community Council to raise people's hackles as "the Council is in the pocket of big developers to steal your parkland."

The discussion is to convert the old Fort Lawton along Texas Way W to housing (and adding a portion of it as public land to Discovery Park).
