densify existing areas instead. if they're going to take property, then redevelop some oligarch's manse rather than pave over trees & grass. or, heaven forfend, take a ramshackle hillside barrio & develop that into high density housing with running water & sewers. but paving the little remaining open space in the city is unwise in the long run.

building on these golf courses won't solve the population pressure. but opening the golf courses to the public as parks will make life in caracas much more enjoyable.

not to mention the cooling effect of green spaces.
