Where would you have them sleep? Social Services are stretched thin. The Kings Inn is closed. The city of Kingston is closing up boarding houses. The homeless shelter on Thomas St is at capacity. This is a problem that's not going away. I guess most try to stay under the radar but, you can see homeless people all over now. I imagine most people would have them out of sight, out of mind.
get used to it....there are no jobs unless you are an undocumented worker willing to work for $5 an hour and to live in a room with 8 other people!
You can blame the fat business man for hiring these people at a great savings.
How many of you fat cats have illegal workers cutting your grass, or working on your house repairs??
it looks like kingston is up against a stone wall where the homeless are concerned. the city made a mess of this problem when they closed the kings inn etc. and not reopening it for these people. where are they going to go come winter????? can the city be sued for such heartlessness????
This county needs a homeless shelter OUTSIDE of Kingston. Kingston is the worst place to stick a halfway home, homeless shelter, substance abuse treatment center, etc. because of its proximity to bars, gangs, drugs, prostitutes and trouble, period.
This got me thinking; Why isn't there one in the old IBM complex? No gangs, no drugs, one liquor store within a mile and one of those abandoned buildings could be renovated to house them, right? Tax incentives could be given to business there to hire them, and treatment and recovery facuilities could be opened (or moved) there.
