[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleveland Park folk are so incredibly entitled. I’m liberal but I hate how so many liberals act like they care about others and about helping folks at the bottom until it hits too close to home. If I lived next to the pool I wouldn’t be thrilled but it is only open for a few months. Stop trying to act like your opposition is for the greater good. [/quote]

How is it entitled to be appalled at the excessive tree removal?  DC has one of the highest incidents of childhood asthma in the nation (despite no industry) and yet the DC government is removing hundreds of oxygen-creating trees from an established public park??  The closest that I've heard to "entitlement" was the argument that Ward 3 was entitled to its own public pool, despite the availability of public pools in the general area.  Ward 3 has the highest per capita income in the city, so how is a Ward 3 pool all about "helping folks at the bottom"?  I will use a pool at Hearst, but now that all of the trees are removed I do feel for the close-by neighbors.   Instead of greenery, with no more tree screening, they will now look out an an expanse of concrete that will be lit up all year all night like I-395.[/quote]

OMG really?

Are there are a lot of kids in Cleveland Park with asthma?

Hopefully despite being clueless you realize the biggest reason cities have higher asthma rates is because of emissions from cars from people driving everywhere?  And enabling people to go to a pool in their own neighborhood will reduce the amount of driving that they do?

Since you are such an advocate for air quality you don't drive and take public transportation everywhere right?  And have been fighting for car free dense residential housing in Cleveland Park?[/quote]
