ParticipantOSHPD (Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development) is the governing agency for all things hospital in California. Hospitals (vs medical office buildings) have much stricter codes than other types of construction. Stricter seismic codes… the issues with redundant power… the issues with head walls in the rooms. (The wall with the gases.) Hospitals are not typical construction and the state beauracracy addresses this in permitting them through OSHPD. It’s a different set of requirements/documentation needed.
But like pri-dk, I interpreted the article to say it’s delayed, not killed.
There’s a pretty significant shortage of hospital beds in San Diego county. I would imagine it’s similar in Riverside county. It’s quite a process to build a new hospital from scratch, and get through the OSHPD (pronounce osh-pod) maze.
(Yes, another area I’ve picked up on because my husband had done a lot of hospital architectural jobs.)

ParticipantIt depends on the depth of the cavity…
My older son has the worlds crappiest teeth. His first filling was at age 3.
That cavity was fairly shallow. They didn’t bother with the novacaine shot since they were pretty sure they could do it without hitting any nerves. It went surprisingly well. No sedative, no shots.
He’s had a lot of work since then. (He’s 8 now.) He actually had 2 of his permanent molars come out of the gums already rotten… So they had to crown them immediately. He’s also had to have two of his baby molars extracted and replaced with spacers. The work where he had the crowns and later the extractions – they gave him demeral and used laughing gas.
Are you going to a family dentist or a pediatric specialist. My other son just goes to the family dentist. (Same dentist I use). But to do the demeral/laughing gas on kids they have special training – so a pediatric dentist is needed. So the son with the crappy teeth now goes to Clairemont Pediatric Dental.
It all depends on the extent of the work.

Participant[quote=underdose]There are good reasons to either rent or own. It all comes down to your personal situation and what’s right for you.[/quote]
This is the take-away point. Rent vs. own is not a one size fits all.
If we were renting we would not have been able to build a handicap accessible granny flat for my in laws to live in. Building it may not have been the best use of our money, when you compare it to investing, but it was the right decision for our family needs, our lifestyle, etc. Math doesn’t factor in the upside benefit of having my kids’ grandparents live 100 feet away.
But, renting would have been far cheaper than buying. And not building the companion unit would have been a LOT cheaper.
Everyone has to do the cost/benefit analysis for themselves.
I’m looking at less than 9 years till the mortgage is paid off. Realistically, less than 10 years (probably around 5 years) before my in-laws aren’t able to live independantly or pass on… at which point we’ll rent out the granny flat for income… It’s all good in the long run.

ParticipantI think there are some legitimate points raised in the article and here…
But, if you plan to stay in your house, long-term, then “free rent” once the mortgage is paid off is a factor. We are looking forward to our mortgage freedom.
