I'll edit my responses here...
A small anecdote here: I read a few days ago that apparently, Alzheimer's patients get their daily routine and circadian rhythm knocked around by this policy
Edit 2: It's funny how people are talking about time, as if this were my 2nd post of discussion on why time measurement is bullshit, on my account...
Some memorable replies here:
another point is that it's probably not great for animals with a strong internal clock
Do not make me get up an hour earlier I will fucking cut you.
On the other hand it is nice the park is open later but have you considered just adequately lighting the park bike paths?
it's bad and we should commemorate the inventor with a public toilet
Not earlier than 9?! No way that is a serious suggestion. I’m basing what I am saying off of my personal life. Starting school or work later means a later release time which means less free time. I think that it is therefore far better to start earlier and get out earlier. That gives people more leisure time. My personal experience has also been that I function more effectively and am in a better mood with the people I am around the earlier we start something. I think that the whole 9-5 thing is way worse than it would be other wise because of the hours. 7-3 is the same amount of hours but soooooo much more tolerable
its the same amount, there's two extra hours in the morning.
A separate two hours means only two hours of time in that smaller time frame which means less available things to do as they have to fit into that time frame. Many places are also not open them
the amount of time in the day doesn't change. someone could utilize later start times to sleep and stay up later, even!
The time in the day does change. If you become free at 4 rather than 2 then you have two less hours that the sun is out
you 'had' them in the morning they did not go away
But the morning hours are less usable
according to what? people sleeping in, working out, eating full breakfasts, they enjoy their time doing that. just because something doesn't occur to you doesn't mean it's incorrect
