It is amazing to me that we have so many homeless on Oahu, but special interest groups would rather have a sports venue at the Aloha Stadium site than an affordable housing initiative. The homeless do not need a stadium; they need a safe, sheltered place to live.
We all see it daily: The homeless sprawl on Oahu is shameful, but the powers-that-be cater to special interest money. The needy are again left behind. The solution is there, the acreage is there to build what’s needed, but the state turns a blind eye to the issue for two reasons only: prestige and money.
It’s sickening at best to see what’s happening, but even worse is that the state turns its back to the problem. Disgusting.
