It's amazing that if residents were to construct similar structures it would take them years just to get the right permits. These structures were built on top of parking spaces too.

Where I live in Puna, at least 50% of the houses were built without permits.  This works here because no one gives a shit what you are doing on your own property.

Ohhhhh isn't that precious........Governor Bullsh*t has taken 8 homeless people off the streets and housed them close to his residence.

How nice. :rofl:

And he only has 5,108 more to go.  But that has probably grown close to 5200 and growing by now.  By the end of this year an estimated 1820 more people will be evicted.

I'll be watching to see if our wonderful governor is going to do anything else about the homeless situation or is this his quota for the year. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I've got $20 that says more than half the people in the "village" will be faking continual pain to (1) get a free place to stay, (2) have 3 free meals a day, and (3) continue to be prescribed pain meds.  If they aren't addicted to the pills themselves, they can easily sell them on the street and buy whatever they do enjoy.

I wonder what happens to the homeless being discharged from hospitals when the village has no vacancy?  Ten seems like a small drop in the bucket if patients are there for months at a time.

i foresee him proclaiming success and getting the legislature to appropriate even more money for additional and larger villages.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Why not move them into his house? He has several....and a mansion in front of the Capitol. Who needs that much space in the heart of downtown Honolulu for a single family?
