[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reading this thread, I don’t see any disagreement about how valuable Rosedale is, how generous the community was to make it possible, that Rosedale can set whatever rules it wants, or the decision to prioritize people over pets.

The difference of opinion appears to be about *who* gets to bring their pooch, since there will be limits. Should that be close neighbors? People who can afford it? A lottery system? An income-based payment? How should Rosedale communicate how it makes these choices? If less of the budget comes from dog owners, how should Rosedale make up that shortfall?

I don’t have any idea what the right answers are. I do tend to agree with PPs that there’s an incongruity between how Rosedale positions itself and the waitlist, which is opaque and risks excluding people based on socioeconomics. Reflection and community listening would be meaningful.[/quote]

We live in Cleveland Park. We became members of Rosedale to support the conservancy. We applied to bring our dog there and we got in because there was space. Not complicated. [/quote]
