I don't live in a 2 million dollar home. I live in a low income rental apartment. We don't even have a yard. We used to use the trail every single day in good weather to go to the [PUBLIC] pool and just to get some exercise. My kids rode their bikes on it. It was always in use. It was a beautiful resource in a crowded area and now it's been ruined. How much overcrowding to you think this area can take before it becomes a crap place -- for everyone -- to live?[/quote]

It will continue to always be in use, when the Purple Line is built.

Now I am wondering, though, which neighborhood includes "low income rental apartments" in biking distance of a public pool and has the money to pay environmental consultants to look for amphipods. Not to mention lawyers to file lawsuits. There's the Bethesda outdoor pool, but it's unaffected by Purple Line construction. You certainly could bike from, say, Lyttonsville to the Bethesda outdoor pool, but it's a longer bike trip for kids than people in this area would typically undertake.[/quote]

Downtown Bethesda has many low income rental properties and MPDUs. Surely you must know that. I'm not the poster who paid environmental consultants or lawyers -- obviously. I think it's pretty weak of you to imagine there is only one person opposed to your arguments.

Downtown Bethesda does NOT have many "low income rental apartments", though it does have a lot of MPDUs, and you wouldn't take the Purple Line part of the Georgetown Branch from downtown Bethesda to get to the Bethesda outdoor pool.[/quote]

Are you serious? You are seriously trying to find some kind of flaw in my post? Stupid. If you can only imagine that people who do not agree with you must be lying, then there is no point in talking to you. Like other Purple Line supporters, you simply cannot comprehend that others who actually LIVE in the community DO NOT WANT the Purple Line and should have a say in whether it cuts through their neighborhood.[/quote]

You got a say, this was decided by the political representatives elected by the community. You don't want a say, you want a veto.[/quote]
