I still don’t get the logic behind not considering selling city owned parking lots or empty land

Discussion

So far the only responses I’ve gotten is: Is a one time gimmick that only generates cash in the short run. As if there wouldn’t be a constant influx of cash via property taxes that the city could collect.

Heard the land is too valuable to be gifted away? Well good thing nobody is making this argument and the land being valuable gives the city even more leverage to demand a certain price point for said land.

Some claim we are losing green space , so unless the parking lot asphalt is being painted green we shouldn’t be losing any. I’m open for any legitimate reasons from the admin on why it isn’t feasible
