The problem with all of these decisions is that it boils down to taste. The taste of the urban planners, architects, developers, business owners and maybe the general public.

On the one hand,...

Yes, Salvador Allende, a physician, was a truly wonderful, well-loved president in Chile with wide support from the people, but not a part of the military or the U.S. He was democratically elected....

I'm flattered that you'd solicit my opinion, but criminology isn't an area of expertise for me, so anything I say about it should be taken with even more grains of salt than usual.

Your article implies that Smith may have a hidden business agenda for trying to keep hospital open. Maybe it’s the same agenda in which he shelled out a couple of million many years ago to keep the...

Absolutely! I lived west of Cazadero for 36 years, and went to Palm Drive for everything; a ruptured appendix, three joint replacements, gall bladder removal, other surgeries. We were "outside"...

I was not at Monday's Palm Drive District Board Meeting, but I have spoken to three people who were. It was indeed polite. It ended with departing CEO Tom Harlan holding up an Open Our Hospital...

Conrad, you ask one of the most important outstanding questions in our community's collective search for answers into why our hospital closed--and why this Board rejected the doctor led foundation...

I greatly appreciate Jonathan Greenberg’s investigation and Gus's commentary.
