[quote=Anonymous]I seriously don't understand why Hearst was not considered for the homeless shelter. There are only a handful of kids at the school there relative to most other elementary schools in upper nw dc. Hearst could easily absorb the extra students, and there is plenty of extra space there nominally for recreation. Has this been raised with Cheh?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think having a recreation facility full of kids adjacent to a police station where perpetrators are regularly brought is a good idea? On more than one occasion I've seen guys just released from the precinct holding cell sitting on the curb putting their shoe laces back in. You would endorse this idea over upgrading a park that is currently a dust bowl doggy toilet? Please, please, please publically suggest this idea so everyone can laugh at you.

Entitled Ward 3 resident who is actually worried about homeless kids dipping their toes in the same pool as her over-protected upper caucasian toddler. [/quote]

uh...actually, the Mayor's proposal would put 50 families (as many as 100+ kids) in residence next to the police station and the existing park grounds. If it's appropriate to live next to, and appropriate to garden next to, and appropriate to play next to, why shouldn't it be appropriate to swim next to?

And by the way, have you seen the land on which the park sits? MUCH HUUUGER than Hearst. Why not put a pool there? There are a slew of gardens that are ? leased ? to private individuals in a very sunny area. This would be a perfect spot for a pool. Why was this spot not considered?[/quote][/quote]
