People want a pool. It is viable at Hearst. There is no other option and it isn't worth pulling this proposal for the unicorn at Ft Reno.

And FWIW there is much more parking around Hearst, especially in the summer when school is out and the parking would be needed.

It is ridiculous that it has taken this long. This thread was started in 2015.

Do you really think that if you just say "Next"  and "Enough" enough times you'll bring people over to your way of thinking?[/quote]

Nope - it is rhetorical.  The opponents keep coming up with ridiculous, false and easily dismissable arguments.  They can keep throwing stuff at the wall but none of it is sticking.

The way to dismiss the arguments is to share the Hearst studies ...  if there are any.[/quote]

What needs to be studied and why?  They are proposing to replace a hardscape surface with a similarly sized hardscaped surface in a park in an urban area.  They are not proposing to relocate lower Manhattan to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.  DC has layers of environmental reviews that this project will be required to undergo before any permits are issued.

This is just a NIMBY talking point and it is only a stalling tactic and has nothing to do with any real concern for the environment or water run-off - if the neighbors were actually concerned about the environment they'd have raised them years ago and all sold their cars but that hasn't happened.[/quote]
