[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the folks who demand an outdoor pool are the outrageous elitists. When I was a kid my Mother took us to public pools all over the city. What the ward 3 pool people are saying is that they want a pool of their own so that they don't have to see other people from other parts of the city. There are plenty of pools in this city but they serve the kind of diverse populations that a pool in Cleveland Park won't serve. If you don't think that is the unarticulated reasoning behind a ward 3 pool  then you are too naive for words.[/quote]

Oh, the bus lines -- you're forgetting the bus lines that prople keep citing.

All the people that claim bus lines make Hearst accessible as a recreation spot available to all DC residents have never used the buses.  Getting anywhere that requires a walk to a stop, a wait for a bus, and a ride through a few neighborhoods makes a 30+ minute experience one-way.  Throw in a cross-town route, a bus transfer, and weekend schedules, and the trip could easily be 1.5 hours from many parts of DC.

It's disingenuous to claim it's a site that works for 'everyone.'[/quote]
