Re “Cost to finish overdue East Village Green park in downtown San Diego grows by $4.6M” (Feb. 23): This is yet another example of the inefficiency of the city of San Diego. If a private citizen were working on a project and the costs kept rising to more than was budgeted, you would have to eliminate something. What a concept! Instead the city is looking for additional funds to cover the costs. No, you can’t afford it! You have to eliminate something — that’s what a private citizen would have to do, and that’s what the city should do! Get something right for a change!
