[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So rather than be all doomsday, why not wait and actually see the plan when it is released. You are creating all sorts of strawmen arguments against nothing for no reason.

Agreed.  I'd like a pool and I live in the neighborhood (and I have kids at Hearst Elementary).  But I would be willing to no longer support a pool after seeing a proposal that just didn't seem to work.  Certainly lots of worthwhile things could be done with the money that has been set aside for the park, including better drainage on the lower field and shading in the upper playground (and any renovation of the cottage that Historic Preservation was willing to let DPR do).  Heck, I would even suggest that if the proposed plans don't seem up to snuff, the money go to other purposes around the city.  Certainly affordable housing and renovating schools is a higher priority.

I guess (after 46 pages of back and forth) I would suggest that folks wait to see what is actually being proposed before completely ruling it out.  I am sure that lots of people will still be upset even if a reasonable plan is offered, perhaps with good reason.  But can we agree that this stage not much more is to be gained from arguing until we see a plan?  [/quote]
