"... yet the city never noticed. Now, the Parks Department is trying to reclaim the dog run for the public, and the snooty pooch privateers are biting back," the NY Post reports.The Warren Street Dog Park was originally taken hostage by the Dog Owners of Tribeca (DOOT) in 2008 — after the 92-by-43-foot green space opened between Greenwich and West streets... Founders installed a keypad lock on the gate and sent members a secret 4-digit passcode after they paid a $120 annual fee [which was spent on] upkeep, such as pressure-washing the blacktop three times a week, maintenance and repairs, insurance and supplies such as poop bags.....It's unfair and absurd to pay a fee for access to a very well-kept dog park? I'd say it would be totally fair and normal if the government had done it. What's not normal is that private individuals took it upon themselves to collect the money and provide the services. But they justify their behavior because the city would not maintain the high standards they want — not just the thrice-weekly power washing and other maintenance, but:
“Why would I pay for something that should be free?” said Liwah Lai, 60, a longtime neighborhood resident who was walking her maltipoo. “It’s unfair and completely absurd. There are so many dog owners in the area like me who need to use the space.”
“At public dog runs, people let their dogs run wild and act aggressively,” said member Lenore Sherman, 61, who has a golden retriever named Huck. “Here, owners are held accountable for the behavior of their dog.”I don't see how legally DOOT can win, but I understand their disappointment with the quality of services NYC can provide.
It's funny, the different kinds of entitlement on display here: people who think they can take over and run publicly-owned property and people who think city services "should be free." Who's worse? There are problems with entitlement to exclusion and entitlement to inclusion.
