[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone in Ward 3 please run against Cheh?[/quote]

Yup -if she had any backbone she would have stood up to the ridiculous Hearst neighbors years ago and we'd have been enjoying a pool in our own neighborhood rather than having to drive 20 minutes and spend money.

Petar Dimtchev is running against her: https://petarforward3.com/home/[/quote]

The pools at Uphsur, Volta and Jelleff are less than a 20 min drive and free.  Have you tried them out?   [/quote]

Yup been to all 3 -  myself and my neighbors want, and [b]deserve,  a pool in our own neighborhood[/b]. A pool our kids can get to on their own.  A pool we can walk or ride our bikes to.  Or take the bus to.  Or get to in 3 minutes if we decide to drive.  A pool where we are likely to run into our neighbors, none of whom are going across town for a pool.  A pool that is close enough that it would be worth our time to go to for an hour at the end of the day instead of being a half day expedition.  A pool that is close enough our kids could on their own participate in an aquatics program or swim team.

But CP keeping on being NIMBY's - Mary Cheh is listening unfortunately.[/quote]

Ah, the deserving poor....[/quote]

Ah, the anguished wealthy of Cleveland Park, having to share their public park with.... the public.[/quote]

I thought it was the anguished wealthy of Cleveland Park who are whining about "deserv[ing] a pool in [their] own neighborhood.  Which is it?[/quote]

Huh??  The immediate neighbors, who live in Cleveland Park, have been opposing the pool.  Literally everyone else in Ward 3 (which is where Cleveland Park is located in case you are confused) would like to have a pool somewhere in their neighborhood.[/quote]

I live in AU Park.  Hearst Park isn't my neighborhood, and I'd prefer a larger ward pool in a more central location.  It seems that someone who lives nearby to Hearst and REALLY, REALLY WANTS THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD POOL is demonizing her own neighbors who want to preserve Hearst.  It's a stretch to dismiss those who don't want the pool as "immediate neighbors who live in Cleveland Park" yet suggest that  those who support a pool belong to a Ward 3 "neighborhood."  [/quote]
