the nail on the head. I would LOVE for some high-rise apartments to be built at the location of the Women's hospital (Children's is fine as well, but a bit further out, the Women's would be great).
Although most people don't realise until it's too late there are significant benefits in living and working near a hospital.
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...
Having a major hospital in a central >location for every major urban area is a >good planning idea.
Funny... that's exactly what the Mayor of Havana told me in my briefing tour. You should see how well it's working there... -- AA
