Evidently the ‘homeless’ lady is not so homeless.

If I had to be homeless somewhere, Hawaii wouldn’t be so bad. I love the beach and could sleep on the beach every night of the year.

Hose her down and move her to a bus stop near the zoo. She’ll blend right in.

a homeless woman who had taken up residence at the [bus] shelter near Keeaumoku Street.

Why doesn't the homeless woman take up residence at the Governor's Mansion? I'm sure it's much nicer there, and they have showers.

I mean if public facilities are not allowed to be dedicated to a specific purpose, why not?

One comment from the news site:

When I deposited my mother at that bus stop a couple years ago, I felt it was an ideal location for her to meet more people and enjoy her retirement years. Also, she stunk up my carport.

If those of you complaining would only treat your family with as much care and love as I do (I stop by at least twice a week with McDouble cheeseburgers and handi-wipes), you might be more likely to understand the desire for alternative living arrangements of today's ecologically sensitive seniors. She is living off the land and loving every minute of it, and I fully support her individuality. Except when she is defecating in discarded coffee cups, that is just gross.

Liberals in government have, basically, two states:
  1. raise taxes on everything productive or enjoyable
  2. bafflement when this doesn't produce Heaven on Earth.
State 1 is accompanied by lots of rhetoric about how it's bad for some people to have more money than other people and that means that their quest for more and more tax revenue is actually a virtue.

State 2 is accompanied by all kinds of excuses and fingerpointing at various boogiemen. See Vast Right Wing Conspiracy for more on this.

When I was a kid in the ‘60’s there were no homeless. You could go anywhere downtown and not be bothered. Then, the ACLU sued during the Carter administration and forced all people being held in mental institutions without their consent to be released; instant homeless problem. The vast majority of the homeless have mental issues that prevent them from being productive members of society. But they can’t be institutionalized unless they’re a danger to themselves or others. Now, the mandated costs of institutionalization make it unlikely anybody will be institutionalized even for the 2 week detox period officials used from the Reagan administration until the present. It just cost too many taxpayer dollars. So, people who are incredibly dangerous simply do damage until they get put into the prison system; where they remain dangerous but temporarily out of action.

The main public library downtown has a full-time armed police guard who patrols every corner of all four floors continuously. There have been rapes, muggings and all manner of assaults. They can’t kick the homeless out until the library closes. The librarians told me they won’t go into some areas without the cop. The homeless pee and poop in the corners. This problem mostly exists because there’s a homeless shelter a block away.

In practice, this statement becomes "but they can't be institutionalized until they kill at least one person."

Years back, when NYC under Dinkins was a cesspoll, and you had thousands of homeless people LIVING in Grand Central Station, I was in midtown Manhattan for a meeting with some out of town HQ execs. It's about 9am, I'm having coffee, and I see these two ladies from the HO get off the elevator..they look like they'd seen a ghost...I walked over, asked what happend, and they said that they're crossing 45ths..near 6th ave, and there is this large street lady, squatting and taking a DUMP between two parked cars...

Yes folks, it WAS that bad..till Rudy cleaned it up. We forget..

The city received complaints from bus riders who didn’t like having to wait for the bus near the homeless woman, who has hygiene issues.

Tessie Cadelina, 66, who catches the bus daily to and from work, said Thursday, “I no like sit down if the lady stay there. The smell.”


Bar of soap. tub of water, chain gang from the local or county jail. Problem solved.

I’ve heard that, but it’s a bit too close to the border for my liking. ;>)

Well, you can wash them up once but they just keep pooping.
