NYT has a piece covering a controversy over some high school kids setting up a wiffle ball field in a "vacant" lot in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Hey, I'm sympathetic to all parties concerned here, including the disaffected home owners, but surely they can find a compromise that allows wiffle ball to continue in some form.
(As is my wont, I will now make a provocative, if not completely fair comparison.) If state and local governments can spend millions of dollars luring professional sports teams, they have to find a way to accommodate something as simple and beautiful as a bunch of minimally-organized kids playing wiffle ball.
Godspeed little doodle.
