The problem is easily solvable, but the powers that be DO NOT WANT TO SOLVE THE HOMELESS PROBLEM. They fear people coming to Hawaii to take advantage of services if they solve the homeless problem. Solving the problem is simple,  provide the actual thing needed (easy housing DUH!). The reason that Hawaii, Florida and California do not solve this problem is because they all fear people will move to the warm climates from around the nation to take advantage of the services the state, county or city provides if they provide a solution--housing. That belief has led to the ongoing crisis (began in the '80s BTW) in Hawaii, which obviously would continue to grow and grow and will continue to grow until the attitude of the leadership changes. The mentally ill (our leadership, HA!) needs your help to see the light on what needs to be done. Their delusional belief that saving a few dollars is worth the alternative (ever increasing homeless on the streets)  is a sure sign of their mental illness.
