[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Petar, yes or no question...do you support the DGS proposal for a pool at Hearst Park?

It's a foolish location.  Fort Reno or Turtle Park would be superior.[/quote]

Turtle Park has already been renovated, so that is off the list.[/quote]

Sunk cost fallacy. [/quote]

For the twentieth time in this thread Turtle Park is not a good option for a pool.

Unlike Hearst Turtle Park is intensely used already, particularly in the summer.

And it is not as good of a location - much less central, poor access to transit (both bus and rail) and much less available on-street parking.

Opponents can keep repeating bad ideas but it doesn't change the fact that they remain bad ideas.

Since Cheh has an opponent maybe he can force her out of the shadows on this issue and get her to publicly commit to supporting a pool at Hearst - it would be nice to stop talking about this as it has been more than 5 years now.[/quote]

Just because you say it, doesn't make your B.S. true.  For example, Google maps shows that is a faster walk from the Tenley Metro to the main entrance of Turtle Park, versus to Hearst Park.  As you concede, Turtle Park is quite popular with families with kids, making it a more logical location for a pool.  Finally, Turtle Park is more handicapped accessible than Hearst (as alll of the park's facilities are at the Van Ness street level), thus eliminating the need for a costly elevator structure to convey users down a steep slope to the proposed Hearst pool level.[/quote]
