[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You realize for every person that opposes a pool at Hearst, there are 20 that favor it"

No. That's not actually true. Neighbors seem at least evenly divided in my conversations. When it comes to people who actually care, public meetings are overwhelmingly anti-pool.

This is an immediate neighborhood issue. Ward 3 people I talk to who live outside the six block radius don't seem to care at all.

No, there are people all over the ward who want an outdoor public pool. They lobbied Kathy Patterson and Jim Nathanson for years and now Mary Cheh. People don't care about the sanctimony of Hearst, but they want access to a nearby public outdoor pool.

You really are reading this wrong. Most people assume this is a done deal and see no need to post here or go to public meetings. Their voice has been heard. The nearby residents are the ones who are keeping this as an issue worth fighting for the myriad BS issues that keep getting churned in this thread. The fact that the closest neighbors are evenly divided should tell you something, because the other 80,000 of Cheh's constituents want this.[/quote]
