[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad a tiny minority of people can impose their will of having good things for the majority of the people.

Hey, I guess the Hearst residents are the Trumpkins in this issue.

Congrats to the Trumpkins who don't want minorities in their enclave.

In fact, it seems to be quite the opposite.  The Ward 3 "swimming pool supporters" are obsessed with the idea that they require one or more pools within their ward (where incomes may be more than 7 times the incomes in the poorest wards) because they don't want to have to mix with DC residents at pools in other wards, even nearby ones.

Meanwhile, have a look at the kids who already come from all over to play soccer on Hearst's rare large field, all day every weekend day during many months of the year.

Wrong.

We just want to be able to walk or bike to a neighborhood pool like everyone else in the city, rather than drive or bus.

As a taxpayer, I want recreational parity with my fellow DC residents. Hearst is a public park. Just because you live close to it doesn't mean you get to demand its usage and programming. That is what DPR is there for.[/quote]
