“I don't know where the idea materialized out there that somehow we would have the great metropolitan park developed full-scale within a matter of a few years,” Irvine City Councilman and Great Park Chairman Larry Agran told The Orange County Register in May, explaining why there is no park at the Great Park after $220 million has been spent. “Nobody ever promised that.”
