But that would not solve the problem,the problem is that the local people can't buy homes,the housing market is too high,the rental market is too high. More local people each year are leaving this state,and the truth is this, Hawaii wants to become a high expense state, To put it another way, it wants to be a state for the elites, wealthy,rich this is a true fact. This state only wants to have "2 types of people" rich and poor no middle class,the poor will work for the rich.

We have no consideration for the land itself nor its native culture, oftentimes they are the worst hit, not exclusively but most of the time. We do not live in a community where the first thing we say is ' how can we help those people get their self respect back and quit drugs'....no we look for the worst ways, 'get them out of here, put them in prison bla bla bla...' we have no concept of humanity, compassion nor love and respect, as we would not be in this situation to start with. I would say if USA stopped the occupation of this land, and all westerners left, balance would restore itself. I am westerner myself but I see the impact we have had on this planet and it aint great. Compassion and understanding and dealing with the problem at its core, first then we will get results. More humanity, less machine world and roboit 'repeaters', parrot people with no mind of their own who just follow after what media says or who just repeats what others say and in so doing creates myths, lies basically, just to not have to take any action, or care.

homelessness is so sad and so gross. The hard truth is no amount of money or affordable housing or help can't sway a person that chooses that lifestyle and drugs. if these supposed solutions worked we would have solved this issue a long, long time ago. It will get worse and democrats will continue to blame everyone and everything but the homeless themselves. Its no surprise as accountability and common sense is also in short supply these days, esp in a blue state. I say fight this issue aggressively, increase police force to patrol these areas and go after these that made this choice and continue to live this way. A plague or an infestation needs to be dealt with otherwise it'll just get worse and worse. If you can't help yourself then we or the government can't help you. It's that simple. Send them to prison where they can get three hots and a cot and most importantly a bath/shower. Still expensive but it is cheaper in the long run than providing programs and building houses they will just turn down or destroy and turn into another eye sore of Hawai'i. If you don't believe this then look at california's homeless problem.
