Why can't the city donate the land

We've been through that. A donation of the land would be an illegal gift of public property. The land would have to be sold, in which case the atheist would be the high bidder. We've sold the land twice with attempts to limit its sale, and both sales have been tossed out by the courts.

I'm for either (1) flooding the region, making it into a "wetland" and; or (2) getting a {name-your-favorite-endangered-species} to take up residence in the crook of the cross.

I stood here once and watched the sunset over La Jolla cove one summer evening. Couples would have picnics on the steps of the cross. There is something very special and comforting about the cross on a hill. Ernest Gordon, a surviver of a Japanese POW camp in Thailand wrote in his book "To End All Wars,

"Our life on the horizontal plane was made meaningful at the point where it was met by the vertical.
At the point marked by the Cross we found ourselves." -E.Gordon
