Hospitals in KW

[the_conestoga_guy]

Sorry urban dwellers, we can’t build anything new for you because all the money is gone supporting wasteful money-hole suburbs.

Surely, other cities also don’t have hospitals or stadiums or other big public spaces downtown? How can they afford it?! /s

I know the location isn't ideal for people living in the core, but it's even worse for people living in East and South-West Kitchener. They're stuck in that sweet-spot where the new hospital and Cambridge's are equally far away - about 20 minutes by car. So it's not like all of the suburbs are benefiting.

No, I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that the location was dictated by UW offering a sweetheart deal for the land cost in exchange for some sort of exclusive research access. As soon as this became the cheapest option, I don't think they looked much harder at locations that were more equitable for the rest of the city.

I think it's a perfectly meh location. It's about as close as we could have hoped to the ION. But it has terrible access by personal vehicles for people in the previously stated areas.
