There’s limited space in the city. I’m not sure how many more designated places there can be, at least in the parts of the city I spend time in. Over the last decade, there was a huge growth in the number of dog runs and off leash areas. Who do we take more space from? Kids? Adults playing sports? Designated wildlife areas? Cemeteries? Community gardens?

At some point, there may need to an acknowledgment of reality among dog owners - if they want lots of room for their pets to roam, a densely populated city might not be the place for them. People move to the burbs for schools and yards for their kids all the time.
