3. Surely you jest

It's a sad, filthy dumping ground for lost souls.

This is just a way for them to wash their hands clean of those people.

They make no attempt to send them to the missions or other entities in the skid row area.

It's not realistic to expect hospitals to fix soicieties ills and solve the skid row or homeless problem, but they don't deserve any praise for dumping them either.
