[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so few public pools in VA?[/quote] There’s a terrible history of white people creating private pools so that they could exclude Black folks from swimming. Here’s just one article about the phenomenon: https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/06/10/americas-swimming-pools-have-a-long-sad-racist-history/[/quote] And that pretty much continues with the private pools...[/quote] I’m a white person who lives here but is from another area. The private pools feel very segregationist to me (still). [/quote] at this point they reflect the people in their neighborhoods who want to join. At our pool, some houses are deaded with memberships, but everyone is on a wait list and it goes in chronological order. Membership is restricted to the zip code the pool is located in [/quote] Not in Fairfax County. Where are you?[/quote] Eastern Fairfax [/quote]
