Lets hope the city can get these concessions out of the board and create a great urban teaching hospital.

Hell yea. Mitch is turning out to be way better than I expected... I campaigned for James Perry, but Mitch seems to be doing all the right things. It's not even that complicated - other cities' mayors have no problem with basic urban planning principles. Even Da Mare in Chicago can grasp why things like street closures are a bad idea, but Nagin just couldn't give a crap.
Glad to see we're getting some competence in City Hall, finally.
