LOL!!
I’m afraid you are right. If people have no income what are they going to do? There are only so many low income apartments and if you don’t have a minor child or are over 65 those are not avaliable to you. Sad times a head for many.
Hawaii used to be almost self-sufficient - grew all its own food, grew cotton, had at least one mill and wove fabric, made cotton mattresses, etc.
Now everything comes from elsewhere and is sky high expensive. Of course some food is still grown there but not much; there are farmers’ markets, but most of the supermarkets have almost all mainland produc. Last I was there a bit more than 10 years ago Safeway was all mainland, some stores had some local produce.
Also the local airlines have prevented ferries or ship travel from island to island which is another insanity. Hawaii has much insanity.

good times...
I recommend steel baseball bats. I have one behind each exterior door, nicely tucked in umbrella stands.
Wastin’ away again in Obamaville
Searchin’ for my lost reefer of pot...

Wow— Did Dog find Osama Bin Laden?????

It is better that the homeless are in Waipahu, instead of Ala Moana beach, Kapiolani Park, and Waikiki.
I was in Hawaii 5 months ago, and was shocked by the homeless in major tourist areas.
I am originally from Hawaii, and I think lack of enforcement for many years has made it easy to attract homeless from other states, and to be homeless if you are a resident.
A lot of the homeless are metally ill, or drug users like meth.
Living in Hawaii is not the paradise it once was when I was growing up in Kailua.
Now, Obama visits Kailua every year, and my family tells me beach areas and roads are blocked off so Obama can have his vacation in a beachfront Kailua mansion.
When the Clintons visited, they stayed on the military base. The house they vacationed in was modest, and they were not a nuisance to the Kailua residents. Obama, however, is the king- and feels entitled to a beachfront mansion in the middle of a residential area , the little people be damned.
We need pictures of Obamavilles posted on a website. I know there is one near “nickel street” downtown in L.A. I don’t go to L.A.
Correct. I wonder what those in Vegas would do to have 4% right now. Or Michigan. Or Florida. The way the dems were foaming years ago about 4% under Bush, you'd think it was the black plague.
“I was stationed at Hickam AFB, HI, from March 1969 through August 1972. We had a huge influx of hippies from CA, OR and WA, and these filthy people loitered, littered and camped on the north shore and wherever the living was easy. Our secretary, a Japanese-American, was furious one morning when she caught a brainless, dope-smoking hippie girl picking pomelo from a tree in her yard. She told the hippie girl, Get the hell off my property, I planted that tree, it is mine and all of its fruit belongs to me! The hippie girl replied, No. God put that tree there for all of us, not just for you. At that point my secretary grabbed a club and the hippie girl beat a hasty retreat.”
I’ll bet that hippie girl was named “Kagan.”
Search for Tent and this thread does not come up. I think this is why you see multiple postings.
Also, how many Ice heads(Meth adicts) in the tent city?
Too bad that RINOs in the senate don’t have the gonads to take the filibuster club to Kagan.
