[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ DPR has zero, nada, zip responsibility to provide space for Maret sports teams.

The city does have responsibility to provide adequate facilities for public schools, and DPR is part of city government.[/quote]

That's not how agencies work. By that logic, MPD should provide security, the CTO should provide the tech, and DDoT should handle the busing..

That's not how any of this works[/quote]

[b]I think you're intentionally missing the point.  DC as a while has responsibilities to it's residents and to it's taxpayers.  Providing athletic responsibilities to private schools is not among those overarching resonsibilities.  Providing facilities to it's public schools is.[/b] [/quote]

I think you're the one that is obtuse. Per the PP above, DC public schools come in 3rd under DPR's priorities. [/quote]

Did I mention DPR?   The constant spin is getting really outrageous.

I don't care about Hardy and I don't care about Maret.  I care about how my tax dollars are being spent.  The Maret deal.costs us taxpayers a significant amount of money and all I see is Market boosters demanding more.  I just don't see the benefit to the city.  I see the benefit to Maret though.

Heck, I'd support Maret on this if there was any indication that they actually did us a favor.  But all I can see is favors going the other way.  We borrowed money to buy a property on the open market and then immediately handed over the usage rights to Maret for a cut rate price.  [/quote]

If you don't care about Hardy, and you just want the highest financial return on your taxes, then you're not talking about DPR. Sounds like you want jelleff transferred to another agency.[/quote]

Lol, I just don't want anymore dirty deals.  I'm fine spending money on things that benefit the city and its residents.  Public parks and fields have lots of benefits if they are accessible to all. [/quote]
