Note to Dog Park Friends: We Don't Hate You!

We don't want a dog park in our neighborhood. But it's not out of spite, or because you didn't warn us. It's not because we don't like you or your dogs.  A lot of us have dogs, too. It's not because we think dog parks are silly, or should never be created.

We have good, well thought out reasons, supported by qualified professionals, many of whom are quoted in Responsible Asheville.  Our reasons are not "garbage" or "unscientific" or "hysterical."  Nor has the expression of our reasons been inflammatory.  We respect your desire to have a dog park.  We did not decide our position carelessly, as we value relations with neighbors.  I hope we can at least agree on this.
