[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like a nimby. Frisbee golf sounds like a good use of public space. Why not take your energy and volunteer at a soup kitchen?[/quote] Perhaps.  Didn't consider preferring the space when it was open and free for softball games, neighborhood pick-up football/soccer, etc. as NIMBY.  Don't see how metal polls and baskets anchored in the ground make it a better use of public space?  I guess we will have to agree to disagree.  Volunteering at a soup kitchen is a great idea.  I have volunteered with communities on and around Benning impacted by housing insecurity and those experiencing poverty.  There is a great need.  I wish the activities of the ANC were focused on helping those truly in need as opposed to the interests of big development that decided to change a valued community resource in the pursuit of charging people money and making profit.  However, I understand what you mean by the concerns with the NIMBY mentality.  Our previous commissioner, who sits on the board of the organization that oversees these changes, once successfully advocated for minimizing traffic on his block while increasing it on other blocks.  This change in traffic pattern also negatively impacted the historic local church. The commissioner used to attend this church and changed churches because it appeared the commissioner could not handle different points of view from those concerned about actions that appeared to benefit the commissioner personally.  Granted, appreciate that siding with the interests of big development are more helpful in terms of a political future.  I guess some things never change.  [/quote]
