Does it even mater where they live? What matters is stopping them and finding a way to reduce drug use in Hawaii. Give these people some options such as jobs, education, a reason to turn their lives around etc. and maybe things will change.
My image of these punks is that they are drug users or just unemployed thugs trying to get $$$. They could live anywhere, but are probably looking for the easiest, closest places to break into with the most potential loot. Assuming that, they probably live fairly close to HPP and find there are higher end homes there, specifically near the water. Jerry stated that the area where Joey lives has the most incidence of break ins: higher end waterfront homes. The whole issue of absentee home owners and vacation rentals makes the pickings even easier. Vacation rentals would also seem to be a good target, as people on vacation usually have expensive electronics and cash with them.
Without neighborhood patrols and maybe surveillance cameras, these areas will remain easy pickings. However solving the problem is a lot bigger than sending them to other areas.
How about asking the PD to set up their DUI/Seatbelt checks on the roads leading into HPP? Just the presence of cops could be an additional deterrent.
