[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a family that lies nearby and would probably use the outdoor pool. I think an outdoor pool is great for recreation and kids, while the great indoor one we have at Wilson is better for exercise. That being said, there is something to be said for spaces in the neighborhood not heavily used. There are worse things than one pair of players on a court on a mid-summer, evening, an open stretch of lumpy grassland, pockets of quiet and repose. How often do you get that in city living? They could put an amusement park in Central Park, but they would be losing something important.

I was in Columbia Heights the other night and the main strip, which developed overnight, looked so junky and poorly maintained. I'm coming to appreciate the plodding pace of 'development' in CP and Tenleytown.  If anything, I'd like us to focus on beautifying Main Street (Wisconsin) to make it more charming, and leave the rest alone.  These recent authorizations to raise density and traffic  in the residential areas (GDS, Sidwell, Homeless Shelter, Pool, new apartment building with no parking on Wisconsin as per green directives) are adding up, and I am not seeing much of a prcess being followed that takes into consideration the views of the neighbors impacted, or the overall neighborhood impact.[/quote]
