"People are so concerned about the homeless -- who will be concerned for the middle class? The homeless steal, and in effect they literally steal public places by living there; they steal private land by living there," she complained. "They pick prime oceanfront parks to live and dare the rest of us to sound cruel when we say enough is enough. We play by all the rules, they play by none. Our community had to hire private security at our own cost to remove homeless encampments from our private property to keep the drugs and human waste out of our communities. They were using our yards as toilets, spreading disease, and the state wouldn't do anything."
Hawaii is one of the most expensive places to live. There is no such thing as affordable housing there unless you get government assistance. Because of this, and many other issues such as drug addiction and mental illness, the homeless population has grown to around ten thousand people in Hawaii living on the streets. The homeless at Kakaako Park have made that beach a nightmare for the public to visit as it became rife with human waste, wild dogs, and downed electrical wires they had pulled out of poles to wire their tents.
PJ Media reached out to Scott Morishige, the governor's coordinator on homelessness, for more information. "One of the things to understand about this part of the island is that there are homeless who have been in this area for 10 years or longer," he explained. "Realistically, when the parks reopen there will be homeless still there," Morishige admitted.
