everyone has a valid response to this. the problem lies in private developers building for speculators, those that can buy ten units at a time, mostly to park some of their money someplace and hawaii just seems like a good place to do it. until, we, the people, the actual government, build for ourselves, we will just have to suck it up and hope walmart has a sale on tents when we get thrown out of our apartment by a greedy landlord (who is one of us, remember). i was on the 14 bus last night and nine young women, all japanese, all tourists, got off at three different stops, on the top of sierra drive to go to their airbub rooms. greed, apathy and indifference need to be addressed, by each of us individually. we need to ask ourselves, is money really more important than getting that mother and her children off the streets? there is only one answer. we love money more than anything.
