Well I live 3 minutes walking distance from the Children's hospital, and it provides no benefits to me!

But it was the Women's that we were originally talking about, and as it has even a better location, I would be EXTREMELY in favour of building a high-rise apartment in its place. I mean think about it, right at the corner of Grattan st... Walking distance to Uni and Vic market, and 5 minutes to the city? Such a waste of prime real estate really...
