Their problem is our problem..
Ah yes the problem.. what is it? Corporate greed? A society where everything is predicated on a get for yourself and @#$% the other guy mentality? I mean as long as you are all cushy up in Pohakea all the homeless are just some folks spoiling your day? An eyesore? A what? A threat to your nice everything in its place and may we all have milk and cookies after dinner kine world? But gee certainly not a reason to call the frickin police?
And btw.. the Hamakua District starts (Hilo side) in Ookala.. Kolekole ain't nowhere near it. In fact I kinda think it isn't even in the North Hilo district.
But the homeless.. I don't know what the solution is but can promise you that the "problem" is only going to get bigger.. more.. and a lot harder to deal with as time goes by. Haven't you noticed, the guys at the top, the all so frickin holy one percenters keep taking more and are not sharing it. I heard someone suggested that if we just kill off the top 100 richest people on the planet and allow their money to spread out rather than be hoarded as it is that they have so much just that would tip the balance back in favor of a more equitable society.
It's a dilemma for sure, but one that requires compassion more than anything. Kindness, and a little selflessness, would do way more to help than calling the police! After all this is Hawaii for God's sake, you know, the aloha state!
Maybe if we had a more locally based economy? Didn't give all our money to Walmart to ship somewhere else? Grew more of our own food? But hey that would take some doing, some denying the corporations their way. Not being cattle but actually thoughtful people caring about each other rather than whether or not our parks are a sterile "safe" environment free of 'those' kinds of people?
