Unlike Maui, we don't have many places to go where we feel safe.  I was just on Maui last weekend and noticed how beautiful and clean the beach was along the highway going up to Kaanapali.  We once had that on Oahu.  Kakaako for instance was a place I hung out and surfed while growing up.  I wouldn't take my kids there today due to unsafe situations.  There's sympathy but there's also reality.  Don't ruin the aina or be pilau and break up the elec lights or plumbing for personal use.  Take a drive past the airport under Nimitz.  Would you feel safe walking around these areas?!  No...neither do tourist and that's what feeds our economy.  Each one of these individuals became homeless due to different situations but the common problem is entitlement.  They feel that they are entitled to whereever they plant their tent.  There's tons of jobs, the economy is growing significantly...and they can move to where those jobs are.  Vegas has jobs and cheap homes, people need to live in their means
