What Would You Build in San Clemente?

San Clemente, CA - Earlier this week, San Clemente Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in San Clemente:

• "Build a big deck around the snack shack at North Beach and put a decent cafe or restaurant in there so we had another option for dining on the water."
• "I would build a camp for children with every kind of water sports and fun activities and it would all be free to every single child that couldn't afford a fun summer."
• "New skate park and soccer fields"
• "Bring family entertainment like bowling alley, skating rink, etc. where teens could also have somewhere to go with something to do."
• "Another lane for the 5 freeway"
• "The Miramar movie theater would be concert venue again! The bowling alley redone. I would also start up the LA Fiesta parade again."
• "Homeless shelter, then finish the proposed family center at VH park"
• "I would widen all the streets."
