Who exactly should "build them homes"?  You, state or homeless themselves?  On what land?  If you say state should pay for the homes and the land, consider that many of us work for 30 years or longer paying for a mortgage to have such a privilege.  What do you think will happen when news gets out that Hawaii is giving away free homes, regardless of how small, to anyone and everyone?

Many of the current homeless are in their present living situation by choice, not circumstance.  That is what is unacceptable.  Hawaii should not be encouraging/enabling this lifestyle choice.  Help those homeless by circumstance (the ones in the shelters).  We are giving free housing away to drug-dependent, single mainland homeless through Housing First yet homeless families with children are struggling to make a go through the shelters.  That is unacceptable.
