Whenever I go to downtown Kingston, I am disturbed by the fact that especially near the Supreme Court, there are lots of homeless and mentally unstable people hanging around.
This occurrence is not only unsightly, but it is a terror to a lot of business people, shoppers, etc., who are afraid of the homeless and mentally ill people and avoid going near them.
I am concerned both for the vagrants and the people passing the unfortunate vagrants who would be better off in a government-controlled home because they need specialised care.
The support we give to the least of us is a reflection of our humanity. I believe the relevant authority should try to improve the situation for all of us. Let's make Jamaica a better place for everyone!
