Don't get me wrong. My subdivision is very pleasant, almost country clubish since the undesirable elements have taken to the shelters. And I don't care if they 'make out like bandits there'. They're all on EBT anyway. They're just to lazy to cook the food they get for free and want someone else to do it for them. But when 13 year old girls are getting sexually assaulted by these freeloaders, I guess I do have a problem with them then. There are real victims that need real support and shouldn't be subjected to the type of behavior you would find in a San Francisco homeless shelter. You shouldn't have to watch where you walk constantly so you don't step on a needle.
You are 100% correct, the shelter is for evacuees, that is who belongs there, period. But it's not just the moochers from your subdivision, it's homeless from other places, many of them predatory and unstable. I wonder if some didn't show up on island just for the freebies.
We disagree in that I think it should be for voluntary as well as mandatory evacuees. I'm in voluntary zone and have been visited by Civil Defense doing their best to talk/scare me into leaving. I've heard numerous times I should get out, most of my neighbors already have. That said, we've got a new construction site starting up in Kehena and there are 2 active sites I am aware of in Seaview. Bulldozers, large lumber deliveries, full crews you name it.
