I agree, but they are different situations entirely. the park is
provided for by public funds. code is provided at private expense.
(C)Regents of the University of California, Berkeley? Private expense?
As to parks, the one just down the block from my house (Madison Meadow)
is owned by a non-profit; i helped pay to buy it. Is that public
expense, or private?
