Fromi their website: ” Los Angeles, a square mile area of the city has achieved international notoriety as %u201CSkid Row%u201D %u2014 a literal hell-hole in the worst part of town. Here the needs of homeless, helpless and hopeless people are reflected in the filth and squalor that so often accompany poverty. Here people live in vermin-infested flop houses and shabby %u201Cwelfare hotels%u201D that line crime-filled streets. Drug dealers and streetwalkers ply their trades on every corner and in every alleyway. And here children learn to grow up fast and hard.”
