[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me the people who are opposed to the pool are in a serious case of group think. It must be some of the older residents who don't really use the park or socialize with the younger families. ("everyone I know is opposed to the pool")

Really, there is overwhelming support for this. Please don't try to fight it, it will just divide the neighborhood. Why not push for hours of operation that maximize usage but minimize perceived wear and tear? How about advocating for gathering areas so the neighborhood can come together there.

Another thing, we should be pushing for a 12 months design, so when the pool isn't being used, the space can still be programmed.

People don't want it.  They don't want to lose the green space, the trees, the tennis courts.  We've had enough mature tree cutting and excessive concrete laying recently -- just look at Wisconsin and Idaho.  And there's no off-street parking for a pool unless Hearst school volunteers its parking -- which is doubtful.  Let Mary Cheh move the pool and her pet homeless shelter to her own neighborhood.[/quote]
