Homelessness prohibiting development

 

 

                         PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY SAFIYYAH MOHAMMED IN PORT-OF-SPAIN

In the photograph above, which was taken on a Saturday at approximately 10am, it can be seen that the homeless man is sitting at the bus stop but he is not waiting for any transportation. This man is just relaxing, absorbing the bustle of the busy roadways.  This may have been a very nice landscaping view of the city area and its new buildings but even hear we notice the presence of the homeless people of Port-of –Spain. These recently constructed high rise buildings give a great sense of ‘development’ in the capital city of Trinidad. With the construction of new modern buildings, it shows that the economy can afford to better the image of the surroundings but then there is the visually unappealing presence which takes away that sense of high standards.
