[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell the weakness of an argument by how they mischaracterize the arguments of others. The maintenance issue can not be ignored. DPR cannot take care of the current facility, how is going to take care of a pool. The pool ruins the field which is in high demand for organized sports weekdays and weekends. The pool can only be used three months a year eight hours a day. It would be closed now. Those drawings presented an idealized picture of an infinity pool in the middle of a green field. There will be concrete surrounding that pool not grass. $12 million to build a pool on an unstable field that hundreds of people oppose? [/quote]

DPR takes care of plenty across the city just fine. Are there issues at Hearst? Absolutely. Should that preclude the addition of a pool? Absolutely now. Address the problems that exist and ensure there is sufficient staffing and budget for what is to come, whether there is a pool or not.

I think you are the only one who saw the drawings and couldn't understand that the lighter green was not grass but the deck. The guy from DPR only repeated that 10 times. So no, only you took it as an infinity pool surrounded by grass.

Please illustrate in a coherent manner how realistically the pool is going to destabilize that which is under the field. That is an argument looking for mischaracterization.[/quote]
