Actually, you're kind of acknowledging a different point, that closer neighbors tend to be more frequent users of Hearst.  While various people who live close may or may not support a pool, frequent users tend to value the current park and understand the tradeoffs involved with a pool.  It's easier to be for a pool at what may be simply a convenient location for you, if you are not a frequent user of the existing park facilities and green space today.[/quote]

We are all DC residents who pay for DPR facilities that we as DC residents can use. Just because you might live closer than me doesn't give you the right to dictate how I or any other DC might want to use the facility. That is why there are unbiased staffers who assess the facility needs and fill needs based on reconstruction and renovation schedules.

DPR's master plan called for 2 new pools in the Rock Creek West area, Hearst is in that area. Hence pool

I am a taxpayer and support the plan. There are more of us than you. You live close by and don't want the burden. Then move. But don't screw up a once in a lifetime opportunity for the rest of us. That is plain selfish.[/quote]
