[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The history of integrating the public pools in DC is painful and fascinating. It took awhile. The Post writes about it from time to time: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bathing-suits-and-civil-rights-integrating-the-districts-pools-was-not-easy/2017/06/10/e3efcf3a-4c4c-11e7-a186-60c031eab644_story.html In addition to racism, and the expense of maintenance, liability issues are real. That's one reason why new fancy condo buildings have rooftop pools that are only about 3 feet deep.[/quote] +1[/quote]
