I do not own anything that could be flown in a local park (mostly 50cc and larger gasoline planes) and RC aircraft of all types are banned in all parks in my County. Plus all the local school districts restrict RC airplanes and public access to their land.

So I guess the only reasonable solution is to stop flying the planes I like and move to a place where park/school flying is allowed. This will be a bit inconvenient for my employment, and that of my wife, but who cares. Franklin says flying small electrics in local parks is the way to go!!! His economic analysis "proves" it!!!
The comparison does leave out many things I think are important to most pilots.
