Junction city does not nees a mental hospital. It's soooo far off the beaten path it makes no sense. Plus, A lot of those who are released after long stays are going to be infused in the city cause they don't really have any where to go.. Not healty to the area if you ask me. This is actually a very unique and diverse community that I kinda think is being speculated by a bureaucracy. Possibly connected (or not) developers also tried building a bunch of new homes and have open lots in  prearranged nieghborhoods.. It looks quite out of place actually. So now add a hospital with very well paid doctors and whatnot to buy up these homes and spend thier money in the local businesses. These are the same people who look at diversity as a mental illness. Again, not good for this town. So now you've outcasted the community.. Just take a fraction of the money and invest it in the community.. the people.. The KIDS.. The SCHOOLS and infrastucure..
