In reply to Gloria Flake (msg # 960):
I also seriously doubt the hospital you saw had even one MRI, let alone 2! Remember, 20 million is spent on the gear in yours, so it is pretty well equipped for a hospital that size.
2-3 floors is not much because you can make it out of sandstone and local materials reasonably, but 12 stories makes the price go up, or the accommodation go down by a factor of 3. Size wise, apartments or shops makes no difference, so we are talking 2x 108 apartment blocks, each with 99 3 BR apartments and shops on the ground floor, will increase the budget by 20 million, and will not allow any surplus cash for houses. But that is fine, it will be more secure.

So we have 198 3 BR equivalent. 40% are 3BR, so say 80 x 3BR
A 3 BR apartment has 3 x BR, 1 x Kitchen, 2 x bathroom, 1 x Laundry and 1x Dining/living room = 8 rooms.
A 2 BR apartment has 2 x BR, 1 x Kitchen, 1 x bathroom, 1 x Laundry and 1x Dining/living room = 6 rooms.
A 1 BR apartment has 1 x BR, 1 x Kitchen/Dining, 1x Living Room, 1 x bathroom/Laundry = 4 rooms.
A Studio has 1x Bedroom/longe/Living/dining/kitchen, 1xlundry/bathroom = 2 rooms
so if we have the rest 118 x 3BR equivalent = 118 x 8 rooms = 944 rooms. of these, 25%/60% = 41.67% are 2 BR. Therefore 393 rooms are 6 BR or 66 2 BR apartments, take up 396 rooms. Therefore 548 rooms are taken up by 1 BR apartments, 137 1 BR apartments.
Crunching maths using the percentages you gave, we end up with 80 3 BR apartments, 66 2 BR apartments and 137 1 BR apartments. So you can handle 146 families and 137 couples/singles. You also have an electronic furnace and metalworks facility capable of manufacturing 10t of metal product per day and a series of large warehouses, all house in a walled complex and setting up your own construction and maintenance company that will quarry the local sandstone for the buildings. This will also include two Hero powerplants, either of which could run the entire complex, as well as six light Beam turrets protecting the perimeter. The wall would extend around the spaceport, making this also secure. This number will enable TSA agents to be included very easily, with little visibility.
A light Beam turret is added to each end of the Y of the apartment block for good measure, bringing the total turrets to 9, each with three beam weapons. If they all start firing, you might have to turn off the furnaces or start up the second power plant. The power plants are underground, between the apartment block and the hospital.
The tighter security means a force of about 10 can patrol it, but you could justify up to 30 persons for this...
Construction is expected to take a year for all this.
