PP mentions the Ward 3 homeless shelter and suggestes an interesting idea: DC should co-locate the Ward 3 pool at the proposed site of the homeless shelter. The parking lot to be used is already paved, so the tree huggers can relax. No park facilities like fields or tennis courts would be lost. The pool would be in the same geographic location (3 blocks away) and just as convenient to the bus lines. The pool also would be a nice amenity for the shelter as well as the broader community. And there's street and off-street parking (in the nearby Cathedral Commons garage). And if DC builds them together, there are probably some cost savings. Win-win. 
  
This is the right way to go. Many of us thinking of coming out in support of the homeless shelter/pool combination as a workable compromise. Pool or no pool, I still support the homeless shelter as proposed. I don't believe it is something we need in our neighborhood but it would be inconsistent with my values to oppose it. People need homes al lot more than they need pools.

Very well articulated proposal, PP.  Does Silverman (sp?) know about it?  I wouldn't really trust Cheh, it's too elegant for her.[/quote]
