"We need to understand these issues and treat them as two distinctly separate problems. Banning skateboards altogether due to liability concerns and property damage (either potential or real) is wrongfully limiting the skateboarder who isn't riding in restricted areas, ignoring posted signs and/or destroying property."
- Curt Loch
The quote above is more or less explaining how the issue of public skateboarding should be handled or treated. The point is to divide the two major problems with skateboarding so that they're not identified as one problem. Essentially, if skateboarding is prohibited altogether, then it is not fair to the skateboarders that are not damaging property or breaking any laws. However, it would be fair to those who pay no attention to laws restricting skateboarding and harm property. Therefore, as the quote discussed, this concern should be treated much differently.
