From NY1:The buildings of two closed Queens hospitals are now for sale.
The broker interviewed in the piece said that he expected bidders interested in the following -
St. John's: Residential or retail
MIH: Nursing home or residential
Comptroller William Thompson wrote an op-ed in today's Daily News about the effect the closures are having on other hospitals, especially in wake of the swine flu epidemic.

St. Johns was an awful hospital, maybe the worst in the five borough, if it had better management and a better reputation I truly think it would be open today.
We should all call the number on the "for sale" sign and protest. Maybe the broker will have a conscience.
This is chaos, not Turdberg losing mayoral control of schools. Doucherberg sucks hard.
And they can't continue to be medical facilities because...
Why didn't the Board of Education buy the property for the Maspeth High School? Oh, I forgot -- our city government likes to dump on Maspeth. They would rather overpay for a contaminated site to put our kids in. The St. John's property has a parking lot, which could be used for teacher parking. It's also accessible to public transportation -- something that the contaminated site doesn't have. How stupid can city government get? I thought the Board of Education would at least have half a brain. My mistake. Their mistake too. Wait until our cancer rate in Maspeth goes up 100 percent. I can smell the lawsuits now!
To build a school there would be worse than the hospital.
Um Because...The Illegals and un-insured will bankrupt them for starters.
Building a high school there would have been a great idea -- the subway is right there; three bus lines run along Queens Blvd. and a couple more run along Woodhaven Blvd. and, yes, teacher parking in the lot on 57th Ave. Leave it to the Board of Ed to blow another opportunity.
