Re: Hawaii's Homeless
Denizens of a homeless camp at the Waianae Boat Harbor have been notified of their impending eviction. They've been allowed to remain for 9 months. They're going to end up somewhere, shelter or no shelter. Those Makaha neighbors have a chance to show compassion by not fighting the proposed Saint Francis shelter, or to perpetuate the NIMBY mind-set that makes suburbs suburbs. It's going to be interesting. Maybe the fact that the shelter would be run by the Catholic church will help ease the justifiably worried minds of parents in the area about an increased presence of the indigent.
