[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your opinion, totally disagree.

But keep making your selfish proclamations.

How is it selfish to want to protect a playing field, tennis courts, a playground, mature trees and green space?  It seems that the selfish ones are those who want to pave over it, even at the price of sacrificing these aspects of the park.

As a previous poster suggested, if a pool is desired find a brown (i.e., already paved or developed site) versus a green one.  The western side of the UDC campus would be perfect, once the Murch trailer park is demolished.[/quote]

Classic NIMBY tripe. It is selfish because you are suggesting an alternative that isn't feasible. And then you extol the virtues of a park where the field is unplayable much of the time and is riddled with dog shit, shit that you probably leave there yourself and, tennis courts that are hardly ever used except the 1 or 2 absolute nicest days of the year. So you want to maintain a status quo of sever underutilization of a recreational facility which should be serving hundreds of residents a day, which instead is your own personal oasis and dog liter.

Yes, you are selfish of the status quo is what you desire.

No one is suggesting paving green space or cutting the beautiful mature trees, except for you.
