The property tax exemption aspect was the one issue he raised that I could actually follow him on and see both sides of the issue.
The problem was with his other argument: that golf courses occupied space and that there weren’t enough public parks in the town (L.A. I think).
A lack of parks is the fault of many other factors, including the local government’s historical decisions, not the fault of one golf club. And just because that golf club preserved its green space and there isn’t any left doesn’t mean it should have to give it up.
That’s like saying: I ran out of my money because of my decisions, now I should be able to use yours.
