The Homeless of San José, Costa Rica

Costa Rica is often described as the Switzerland of Central America ... an ecologically 'green' paradise with no army since 1948 ... etc., etc.,

While Costa Rica has many wonderful attributes, the San José capital is a dirty, run-down city in bad need of a complete scrubbing and rebuilding campaign with the efficiency of the Chinese construction crew that built the brand new Costa Rica national stadium in under two years with little more than wheelbarrows and a real work ethic.

Then there's the homeless. The hundreds of San José homeless that live on the streets with little or no organized assistance from the government. One cannot go anywhere in the Costa Rica capital without encountering adults and children with everything from mental illness, to drug/alcohol addictions, to just the plain lack of ability to improve their personal situations.
