Use LED lighting powered with DC low voltage. This will require specialized equipment to make it useful to the homeless crowd.
Catch them and waterboard them.
Honolulu…join Kalifornia & NY & Chicago…SANCTUARY CITY…except with no illegals of course!
HPD is good for nuttin!
Blame the ACLU…they sue the city and state to leave them alone but always call police when the homeless hang out at their building….go figure!
I think the ACLU building should be a homeless “SAFE ZONE”…
Ask Trump for infrastructure money to build a big wall around that park.
…and he’ll get Mexico to pay for it? lol
What ever money was used to repair the wiring, other damage, must be taken from homeless support funds. No reason for taxpayers to cover this expense, let the homeless pay for it.
Fair is fair.
“FYI”, driving home from work yesterday on the ewa bound embankment just before the Nuuanu Avenue overpass there’s a homeless guy that set up his camp and he was naked. Just below on the embankment is a bunch of trash which I presume came from him. They’re setting up all along the freeway sides.
You want to see homeless… it’s a “refugee camp” all along Iwilei Rd. from Aala Park to Dole Theaters. Hundreds of tents block the sidewalks.
Honolulu taxpayers calling Kirk Caldwell,et al do your job.
Police should enforce the laws & judges should give jail time to those found guilty.
Do not just repair the damage, but upgrade with more robust fixtures. Look at the cabinets that control most traffic signals at intersections. Those things are huge, and if you ever tapped your hand on one you would hear that they are solid! They also have huge padlocks that would require a blowtorch to break.
A better question is what will be done and I bet 100% would say – nothing!
Until the State starts enforcing strict night closure of the park the homeless problem will not go away and vandalism and property damage will continue……
Provide slit trenches and lock/close regular bath room facilities during evening hours or procure stainless steel urinals/stalls like the prison facilities to deter vandalism.
