Forty five of the sixty eight homeless at the old Kona Airport had no intention of going to a shelter.  It's hard to help people who don't want to help themselves.  Who is going to give the homeless "affordable housing" all our self-serving politicians talk about?  The answer is the rest of us whether we like it or not.  We all have choices in life and many of the "homeless" have chosen to live life their way.  It is not the duty of those who have chosen to be responsible to provide for themselves to also be responsible for those who haven't.
