A CALL FOR LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS SITTING AROUND AN OUTDOOR POOL

It wasn't so many years ago that communities around the country were demanding that their local government support an outdoor swimming pool. All kind of benefits, not too many downsides, other than having to use "our" tax dollars to help support them. I guess the Village is different. Maybe more enlightened. We cut out our pool in a newly proposed project to resurrect the West end of the Village. For granted, we don't have a lot of young children living here. Most use of a pool comes from visiting grandchildren. The pool becomes a convenient babysitting service. Grandma and grandpa do have their limits. Still, a community without an outdoor pool is a community destined to get one. In the relatively near future, look for the POA taking over Diamante. Ah, a pool. But crap, it's on the East end. We got to have a pool on the West end, that's where young families can afford to live. Oh, what a mess. The new boards first decision ends up to be a bad one.
