Real progress requires respect for neighbors

Of course Chad Olmsted ("A noisy ballpark enlivens downtown," letter, April 21) doesn't understand that Fisher Park residents — and others living within the six-block radius — could be bothered by the noise of the baseball park, because he doesn't know the meaning of "progress."

Progress is conservation and preservation, and respecting your neighbor's right to peace and privacy.

Sadly, he is one of many who can't understand that concept, but the consequences will catch up with all of us one day when it's too late.
