[Vision2020] Downtown & Gritman Parking

[Dan Carscallen]

Donovan says:
"Gritman is one of the few hospitals in Idaho that doesn't pay and
create their own parking but takes public parking spaces with new
buildings and then complains about not enough parking."

The idea that Gritman "doesn't pay and create their own parking" is
ludicrous, after BJ told us that Gritman owns the Wren House lot, plus
the fact that the main lot used to have old houses on it.  This just
proves that Gritman has bought up all kinds of property on and around
their "campus" -- The aforementioned Wren House and the old Bruneel Tire
building, for example -- to create parking.  Also, if the City's rules
work the same as the Highway District's, Gritman would have had to pay
for the property created when that 1 block section of 8th street was
abandoned, unless other arrangements were made.

Just because you got a bug up your ass about Gritman over some goofy
student health insurance grudge doesn't mean you are spewing "facts".
