Doesn't even mention Riverside, IL which is a whole suburb designed by Olmsted.

Parks are better then nothing and they were the beginning of conservation of forests. Without this guy you probably wouldn’t have anything left in the USA. It would all be gone.

Before central park there wasn't an empty space it was an African American community called Seneca village that was destroyed to build this stupid park

Seneca Village took up about 10% of the park.

I’m very familiar with that and it was a tragedy. On the other hand, it represented 250 of 1,600 people who were evicted for Central Park. That could be put in context of the Manhattan Grid, which evicted many times as many people.

i think the net good of Central Park, perhaps the best public work of the entire 19th century, is worth the displacement of a squatter village. All of those 'displaced' people were now given an incredible public place where they could live and connect with nature. Their squatters rights are not more valuable than the right of millions of people to enjoy something like Central Park. Stop with this woke rhetoric. This park was for everyone. Olmstead was a staunch abolitionist whose efforts supporting the Union in the Civil War should never be forgotten. Sometimes a small group of people have to move and be reorganized for the public good, and Olmstead knew this.

Complaining about that is very silly considering the context of that time and how crazy it was… 1860

Annoying, intrusive, incessant music took away from an otherwise entertaining presentation.
