San Diego City Council allocated another $27.3 million Tuesday for its long-promised downtown park, East Village Green. Q: Is East Village Green worth the cost? The problem is that the cost has been blown out of proportion by the inclusion of the underground parking garage. Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & AssociatesNO: Cut the cost way back by dropping the underground parking and make this a simple, attractive downtown park. James Hamilton, UC San DiegoNO: The costs have exploded since East Village Green was first conceived.
