The first question they ask is your name and then where you sleep. The volunteers told me that they did not try to count those living in off street or road areas.Īlso, a lot of people avoid being counted because they distrust the volunteers and service providers. The other huge group are those that camp off the streets. One is the homeless that live in their cars. Two huge groups of people have never been counted. The last two years they were short volunteers to do the count. I have always believed the counts were low by a huge percentage ( “Hawaii Homeless Numbers Drop By 10 Percent”). I was homeless 12 years and was only counted three times. The numbers are always undercounted (May 9, 2018) Susan Liang, Honolulu Homeless Point In Time Ige tried to move the mountain, and failed. It’s not only justice that’s at stake, but the unchanging and uncaring monopolistic Democratic Party in Hawaii that has done very little for the low and middle classes, e.g., zero homes to buy for under $200,000 (below one-third cost of median priced homes for $700,000) for the last five decades. We need to stop being more like Putin’s Russia and be more like a true state in a Democratic republic. Was that ever solved? How many homeless have died? Of what? Makes the state government look bad? I rest my case. There was a murder of a state legislator in the 1960s in his garage.

Leave it to a structural separation of powers, so that justice be done. This can’t be a case-by-case determination. The structure of the system must impartially guarantee justice by removing political interests that categorically have no place in true justice and the rule of law. The Honolulu Police Commission currently has the power to hire and fire the city’s police chief. So if you have a suspicious death that would make the Democrats look bad, or the head of a powerful union. The mayor also chooses the medical examiner whose independence when doing the science of forensics is not encouraged by that fact. What’s the possible reward(s) for a mayor of Honolulu, a county that encompasses the entire island, in choosing the head of government ( “Should The Mayor Choose Honolulu’s Police Chief?”) that oversees the gathering of evidence of crimes? Make a list. We look like Putin’s Russia (May 9, 2018)
