Sunday, SUNY made official the latest twist in the LICH saga: It announced an “agreement in principle” with Fortis to buy the LICH property in Cobble Hill and develop it into luxury condos. There will be more affordable housing and more medical services than Fortis originally envisioned before protests and court cases forced SUNY to undertake a public RFP process, but no hospital.
Meanwhile, according to the Brooklyn Eagle, the two closest emergency rooms, Methodist and Brooklyn Medical Center, have been so overwhelmed they are turning away ambulances.

Don’t believe the hype… Most of the stories in Bklyn Eagle are being fed to them by the Unions that were fighting to save their jobs. Not that they shouldnt try to save their skins, but the whole things going on here has been based on illegal shennanegans (sp?) and lies. Glad SUNY is moving forward to do what they are legally allowed to do.
Those numbers mean nothing unless studied over a long period of time. Nothing can ever be surmised from 1Q to the same a year later.
