[quote=Anonymous]So here are the tactics that the neighoborhood can try to use to stop this:

1) Environmental Law - nope, particularly since the proposals will include advanced stormwater management practices;

2) Historic preservation - nope, the field has already proven to not have significant archeological significance, and there is no intention of doing anything near the historic stone house;

3) Site geology - nope, nothing there.

4) Loss of green space. How would this even be an argument. There is significant green space there and throughout the area. The result of this renovation will be a more environmentally sensitive park than what is there now, even with a pool.

5) Traffic. We live in a city.

6) Parking. There is plenty of free parking all over the place. See number 5.

Any sort of court battle or public relations campaign will make those opposed to the pool look like nothing more than elitist snobs who don't want the riff-raff in their neighborhood.

So far, no one commenting in this forum have demonstrated anything different.
