I currently live in South Florida, where our climate is very similar, and because of that our homeless is also abundant.
Most of our homeless here are panhandlers and beggars, on every street corner and highway exit, every gas station begging for money.
I rarely here of them being criminals (as far as theft and robberies), why do you think your homeless on the BI are more prone to commit crime ?
Also, Ive read a lot on here about robberies...are these home robberies ? Don't you have a gate and a gun ?
I live in what some would call a so-so neighborhood (I bought my house here in FL for 125K last year) Most of my neighborhood is black or Spanish, but ive never had any problems and I have a shiny loaded friend in my drawer if someone did decide to come in my home.
Why such trouble on the BI >?
Not all states are as gun-and-gate happy as Florida. Just one of the many things I loathed about the state.
One of the problems tends to be ****ty racist attitudes like this: "Most of my neighborhood is black or Spanish, but ive never had any problems". Oh, "BUT" you've never had any problems despite living amongst the boogeymen? Because people of color are always going to be the ones to be scared of - just ask George Zimmerman! I hate to be a jerk in a forum that already has it's share of troll problems, but I can't NOT say anything about such lazy, open racism. Mo betta you stay put, you'll be in the minority on the Big Island and that might make you feel a little uncomfortable.
Also, as for the 'why'? Pay is crappy, jobs are hard to come by, drugs are abundant, addiction is real.
