"at a location which was supposed to be for only 1 year"
.
Yes, and during that first year we had about 7 different town hall meetings, in different Honolulu areas trying to find a new location for the shelter to move to. At every town hall meeting people showed up en mass and proclaimed "not in our neighborhood !"  some shouting "we don't want THOSE PEOPLE in our neighborhood"..  Interestingly, those are the same people now complaining about trump not wanting "those people" in our country, but it was perfectly fine for them not to want people in THEIR neighborhood.   We even looked at the state purchasing a few buildings to move the shelter to. Several condemned and abandoned sites needed rebuilding were looked at. Lingle asked for $20 million from the Leg, I think they gave $5 Mil
the MAIN reason to move the shelter was because OHA was to get the property and planned to build a new office on that site. They conducted 2 months of drilling core samples for a site survey and study.
