Beacon Hill residents don't see eye to ear over hospital expansion plan

Karen Cord Taylor considers opposition to a plan by Mass. Eye and Ear to replace its Charles Circle parking lot with a four-story office building:

The BHCA opposes this change of use, but it has not spoken out when the hospitals have RENTED space on Beacon Hill. MGH moved into the whole second floor above Harvard Gardens less than ten years ago. MEEI recently moved out of the two-story building at West Cedar Street and Charles Circle, which it occupied for ten years. One could consider a new building at Charles Circle simply a replacement for their rental space at the end of West Cedar.

You know something is wrong when a parking lot can't even be developed with a building, the same height or shorter than the rest of the block, without some people complaining. It's like people don't understand the concept of a city, and haven't figured out that if they don't like buildings and love empty open space for cars, that maybe they need to move out the suburbs.
