Re: Belmont parklet is good, but is it time to restrict tobacco sales?
Tobacco sales are already restricted, and it's not that hard to buy weed.
The only discrimination at the parklet is perpetrated by the smokers who make it an unwelcoming space for its intended users: non-smokers. It has always been designated as a non-smoking area, and when it was first opened, there were games for children to play while their caregivers sat and had conversation and a cup of coffee with friends. People that work in the area would sit there on their breaks for some fresh air.
It's too bad that the intended purpose of this area has been ruined by people who absolutely refuse to clean up after themselves.
