Build the damn pool now - Ward 3 deserves what every other Ward has.[/quote]

I hate the "Ward 3 needs a pool" argument because it's so illogical. Ward boundaries are invisible lines, they don't keep anyone from going anywhere. Just because the Volta pool and the Jelleff pool are in Ward 2 doesn't mean that people in Ward 3 can't use them. And are the people who live in Ward 4 in Chevy Chase somehow well-served because parts of their ward which are miles away have outdoor pools? [/quote]

What's even more illogical is that the Van Ness/Reno area, from where presumably a lot of the cheerleading for "their own" Ward 3 pool is coming, is one of the more likely areas to be shifted from Ward 3 to Ward 4 in a future redistricting.  Au revoir![/quote]

You think the powers that be would move UDC out of Ward 3?   Its current location is completely illogical, but its a tremendous political statement to have it there.  A giant middle finger to upper cacausia.  You must be new around here.  [/quote]
