[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ANCs tend to take into account the views of people who may disproportionately bear the impact of proposed projects. If, for example, one put to a majority vote the notion of building a limited access freeway down the Reno Road corridor to downtown DC, it would probably pass. But that wouldn't exactly be fair to those impacted directly by it.[/quote] They tried that once and lost, which is why there is no extension of either 270 or 95 though DC. But it is an apples to oranges comparison, because an expanded Reno Road would be a benefit to Maryland drivers. A community pool would be a benefit to the community. There are hundreds of these in Maryland and the city, outside of Ward 3, is dotted with outdoor pools. Why should the residents of Ward 3 have to pay to join a private pool or drive/commute to some other part of town to get some free exercise or relief from the brutal DC summers?[/quote]
