his is the most dumbest article about homelessness, that all of the attention by the media and others are demonizing the homeless.   not true, they are portraying a true picture of how the homeless is marring our parks, beaches and streets.  they should not do this, they should be responsible and try to be good stewards of the property they commandeered.  the sweeps and sit/lie bans are not to solve homelessness, but to return these properties for use by the law abiding citizens.  government alone cannot solve homelessness; part of the responsibility should be the homeless themselves and also their family.  Hawaii should be the land of aloha and ohana, yet these people relatives have not done anything to help their less fortunate relatives.  and the homeless themselves have no ambition to get themselves into a better situation.  so to blame the media and others as responsible for the increasing problem of homelessness is totally ludicrous.
