it's really an absolutely ridiculous place to put a hospital - a ten minute bike ride from the nearest major intersection.

i would certainly hope they're planning bus service; as it is, it would be impossible for most people to get there without calling an ambulance, and it's going to increase the travel time for ambulances five, six, seven fold.

the only logic to attach to it is the idea that the staff wants to abandon the downtown core, which is more or less what's happening - this is essentially very expensive white flight.

if it brings housing costs down in the city core, i'm ok with it. it'd just be nice if they'd hurry it up...

so, i'm arguing with somebody that just bought a complex around the corner from the hospital that is being closed. he thinks he'll rent to hospital staff. my guess is he's from toronto.

these people are delusional, and they're just going to lose money.

but, it's shitty timing for me.
