[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And a pool won't impact directly or indirectly soccer, t-ball, ultimate frisbee or anything else that might take place on the field.[/quote]

Isn’t one pool site alternative on part of the existing field?  Doesn’t another alternative show one or more tennis courts relocated on part of the existing field?Of course, construction of a pool may affect the field, by making it smaller.[/quote]

At this point nobody knows for sure. They've shown three "sketches" but we've been assured that they're not to scale so they're essentially meaningless when it comes to the details. And details like whether the field will be shrunk matter quite a bit.[/quote]

Isn't keeping the field the same size NIMBY and segregationist?[/quote]

You lost me. Please use the /sarcasm tag if you're kidding.[/quote]

Probably a sarcastic response to sh@#tty aspersions like this:

"Truth: [b]Unless you go back to the race baiting 1960's no other community successfully resisted any proposal for a pool in Ward 3[/b]. This is not the last remaining space in NW DC though this is such a vague statement as to be meaningless but it doesn't matter as this is space in DPR's inventory and the pool needs to go on DPR owned property. And again there is nothing inhospitable about this space - [b]the only thing that is inhospitable here are the Cleveland Park neighbors who think this little used DPR facility is their private park exclusively for their benefit. [/b]

The opponents of the pool need to be smarter or alternately more honest if they want to be taken seriously by people in other parts of the Ward - either come up with some coherent and supportable arguments against the pool at this site or [b]be honest that you just don't want the park to be more intensely used [/b]rather than coming up with the nonsense that made up this letter.[/quote]
