[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't understand the difference between the RFK site and Franklin square and any space in Ward 3 that might be dedicated to a pool such as Rock Creek or Glover Park, I don't know what to tell you.

Tell us, then.  Not to mention, there are NPS sites that are not in Rock Creek Park, not core green space and devoid of existing assets like fields, tennis courts, etc.  Several are on the periphery of Ft Reno, a central location which has the advantage of being near the existing indoor pool facility and has Metro access.  Another is at the end of Glover Archibold Park, off Van Ness and Upton, a spot sometimes used as overflow parking for Verizon and as an (illegal) dog run.  The point is, if DC thinks that NPS would transfer green park space for development, which is irrevocable, then surely it wouldn't close the door to transfer or a mere lease agreement for recreational purposes (as NP has done in the past).[/quote]

If there had been a good-faith effort to investigate possible locations for a pool those discussions may have happened. But there was no such effort.[/quote]

Exactly.  A FOIA request to the DC government asked for all documents, analyses, etc. relating to Hearst site selection and consideration of alternative Ward 3 pool sites.  The response was that no such documents existed.

Cheh is lying.[/quote]
