as usual, we get the false term 'permanent housing' being used as tho it actually exists somewhere even when Bill Hummel of The Lighthouse Outreach Shelter in Waipahu, who is mentioned here, has said there is none.

we've watched decade after decade along with multi $$million$$ plus many personnel / depts. come and go, yet our officials can't get beyond chasing their tails on actually solving the basic problems, starting with the housing shortage issue, instead they go on with more unacceptable sheltering. until they finally accept that having some kind of FREE homes ends homelessness for the vast majority of the 15,000+ on Oahu streets we'll never see this BS end. but even tho the Mayor and Gov. are well aware of the awesomeness of modified shipping containers as great starter or permanent homes, they just won't do it, they refuse to face the large emergency task of building and sustaining new communities around the island for a fraction of what they've already wasted. DUMB, or worse!
