Robin, homeless has always been clustering around that Makaha region. Often see quite a few of them on my way to Yokohama Beach. Its not the most ideal location for the homeless because they don't have a readily food supply and the rich folks been moving into the leeward side of the island. In due time, Oahu will be just like the Bay area of California.....but without access to the cheaper places to live. It would be like Hong Kong in reverse.......and North Shore, once a refuge of the poor everything (whites, Asians, Polynesians and everyone else) are invaded by rich whites, Asians and Polynesians.......changed is remarkable. Bike trails, guards on the beaches, more HPD presence and the works. The poor become homeless....and being squeezed!!!
