A short time ago a reader suggested the smartest solution for housing and feeding our Lahaina ohana (“Floating hope: Use cruise ship to aid Maui ohana,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, Aug. 16). Of course, it was ignored, as are most smart suggestions from readers.
He wanted a cruise ship to be moored somewhere on Maui’s west side that could offer living spaces, food, even emotional support and comfort for those displaced by the fire. Instead, there is currently a scramble to provide tent shelters and soup kitchens for the shocked and grieving families. Surely, wealthy Hawaii can do better for them.
