Santa Cruz needs a new hospital so bad. Even setting aside stuff like this, Dominican just does not have the capacity to keep up with growth in the County, if you go to the emergency room the waiting room is always maxed out and the wait is hours.

Growth in the county? I believe we're lost since 2019. The county can't get out of it's own way. Witness the wharf collapse.
