Aloha Nolani-

I agree with you. Let's not forget that the housing/homeless problem is created by our GOV by limiting housing, charging 2X the property taxes to landlords, stop ohana housing, rejecting in-fill housing in planned communities when GOV caves to vocal minorities silly reasoning for denying permits in planned housing areas.

Homelessness, compassion for ALL, including the financial middle, lower & upper citizenry.  Our government asks us to work to care for ourselves then pay for & accept the unacceptable behavior of the homeless who disregard laws of decency, health & safety.  That's a no win-win situation or benefit for ALL.

Throwing hardworking taxpayers $ ineffectively at our social problems is unethical.  Paying the highest social benefits in America incentivizes others to move to Hawaii.  Those here who are close to failing will give up & grab the GOV nipple, further burdening society. Let's not be #1 in the wrong things. Note; GOV, be ethical to working citizens.
