Things look dire. This apartment building on Lincoln, south of West Grand Boulevard (and Henry Ford Hospital), has gradually been surrounded by Henry Ford's parking conquests and their pillbox security stations. Now the Lincolnshire has been emptied and plywooded on the two lower levels.
Why does Henry Ford Hospital continue to lay waste and salt the ground of this rather nice residential neighborhood to its south? Why does Henry Ford get away with this without an uproar? |

So the residents of the City of Detroit can have quality health care? Just a wild guess. |

Yeah Jman, besides, this area has been going downhill for years.
Besides, all the region's intensive care doctors (except for William Beaumont) are all centralized in the city of Detroit, and I think it's a good thing if they hospitals choose to expand here over building an entirely new mega hospital in Fenton or Baltimore.

Inordinate amounts of surface parking do not equal quality health care for residents of the City of Detroit, Jman. Think it through. They could do just as well without taking out a neighborhood.
A novel idea would be restoring some of their neighboring buildings and marketing them to their employees. |

They shouldn't get away with it.
I'm always impressed with the stewardship Covenant Healthcare up in Saginaw has shown for the surrounding neighborhoods. Buying up vacant homes around the hospital and renovating them into rental units for doctors or other employees of the hospital. They've maintained stable healthy neighborhoods instead of flattening them for parking (which could be decked). |
