[quote=Anonymous][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]

And for the twentieth time on this thread, no baseball diamond in the city is heavily utilized compared to the rectangular fields. We've got two thirds of the land being used for 15% of the players for baseball, and one third of the land being used for the other 85% for all other sports. [/quote]

That stat is particularly galling considering that virtually no girls play baseball and other sports have a much better gender balance. [/quote]
