Well thats whatshappening in my community. Theres a park that some people want to turn into a golf course(高尔夫球场). Let me tell
24、 you why I think its a bad idea.First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so noteveryone will get to use the park.

It also means that
