I swear making OLOL the new charity hospital was the dumbest idea ever. That's really what you want. Bring the dregs of society into the middle of the city.

That was a retarded decision. There was a big giant empty woman's hospital right on Airline which was much closer to north BR than OLOL is. That was an epic EBR failure.

Supposedly EBRSO and BRPD is using that place as their new Headquarters. They bought the place years ago and I drove by the place earlier this month. Parking lot and garage looks practically empty and the front of the building just has a few squad cars.

I thought buying the new Woman's hospital and making into a new Police HQ was a great idea. But now? Not so much.

There was nothing wrong with EKL's facilities. Woman's was built in the same year as EKL and would have to be retrofitted to be a regular hospital.

EKL was defunded by Jindal, that is why it closed.
I've heard that more tax money is being spent on OLOL than would have been spent to leave EKL open, but I don't have the numbers. We all know that BRG mid city ER shut down as a result of EKL's closure as well.

This is not a EBR failure, it is a Jindal failure.
