A number of the buildings are being saved for adaptive reuse, but unfortunately the Main Wing and some little outbuildings didn't cut the mustard.

I didn't know that was such a "troubled" neighbourhood. I thought things didn't start getting kinda shitty until you got into White Oaks. Still, the loss of Victoria Hospital is nothing short of tragic. And shame on you Hamilton, those stone buildings form a vibrant, human-scale retail area and you're going to replace them with Toronto wannabe condos?
Dear GOD this thread depresses me.
