It sounds so great! 500 acres as a goal of "acquiring" for the Parks department. But these were already owned by the city, so there is no net gain here. If I take a dollar out of one of my pants pockets and put it in the other pocket, I still have a dollar. The city is playing an old street corner hustle - look! we just acquired (implication that the land was saved) all this acreage. No new land was saved or protected.
