I recently came to Hawaii again and was amazed.
Prices have become so high that I can't even pay my rent with a regular job.
Homelessness has increased dramatically
There is a shortage of police, buses, and tour drivers
All infrastructure is unprofitable and collapsing
The city stinks and the residents who lack food and clothing have lost their reason and have become ravenous beasts.
What is going to happen now? What is going to happen to Hawaii now?

Eh ! ? You are really in Hawaii ?
Prices and rent are high, but there is no stench, no city full of people who have lost their minds and turned into beasts of prey... lol

Are you anti-Hawaii ? lol

Stench The air is cleaner than ever. !

I've never smelled bad in Waikiki or Ala Moana ….

I wonder if this poster actually came to Hawaii and saw what it's like. ?

Since Corona, the ocean water is clearer and more transparent than before.

Prices have gotten so high that you can't even pay your rent with a regular job. ? Don't you know that the minimum wage for a job is going up as prices rise? I've heard that by 2028 the minimum wage will increase by two dollars every year... !

I'm hearing that this fall it's going to be $14. !

There was a time when a lot of people lost their jobs and couldn't pay their rent for a while, but that was when Corona was starting, and now Hawaii's going to be the only place in the world where people can afford to pay their rent.

Please don't post anything that will reflect badly on Hawaii !

. If you think Hawaii is not a place to live, then Co #3 is right, don't come to Hawaii ! because it is very disrespectful to the people who love Hawaii and live here !

No one is currently in need of food and clothing unless they are in desperate need !. I'm surrounded by people who don't buy things they don't need ! and don't add things !, and there are many people who are decluttering, so there is no shortage of things

but the fact that people have become ravenous and rational may be partly due to the deterioration of public safety.

I think those people have no reason from the beginning...
They don't work, they are addicted to drugs and alcohol, they are involved in crime...

If you post something bad about Hawaii, you might as well delete it, because you're sure to get blasted.

If it's expensive, you don't have to come, and no one is asking people like you to come. Just go back to your homeland. As for the measures we are taking regarding the homeless, we are also working on a plan to send them to the Mainland. I am laughing at the name Rocco, since you are not a resident of the US.

I am a single mother who moved to Hawaii because I wanted my children to grow up in an English-speaking environment and I did not want them to be frustrated by discrimination on the mainland.
I don't like Hawaii, but for different reasons. But now I like Hawaii because I can feel the warmth of people with the support of many people.
It is difficult because I am not a two horseman, but I am able to live a normal life by taking measures such as obtaining qualifications to increase my income.
I am sure that if I can get rid of the habit of looking down and looking for what is wrong, I will be able to see different aspects of the same thing. I hope you will be able to enjoy your daily life a little more.

Rocco, assuming you really live in Hawaii, where did you find the stench ?
Where do you meet the residents whose reason collapses and they turn into ravenous beasts due to lack of food and clothing ?
I am very curious because I have no chance to encounter such stench or ravenous beasts in my living area. I am very curious because I don't have a chance to encounter such a stench or a fierce beast in my living area.

Welcome back to Hawaii

Even with the unusually high prices, you have the option of buying an Affordable Condo, buying a house instead of renting.
Depending on the property, they sell out in a few weeks.
You can get more money back by buying a house instead of throwing money away on a rental.
If you want to live in Hawaii for a long time, become a homeowner.
I think renting is fine for short term stays only.

When you say you're here again, you mean you're here to emigrate.
There's definitely a continued dramatic increase in the number of homeless people. I think there are more and more aggressive people, especially those who seem to be drug-crazed. I'm afraid of getting hit in passing by them. I think it's decreasing, but they are just moving. As for the strange smell, the Ala Wai Canal has always smelled bad. I don't walk there these days, so it may have improved. Also, doesn't it sometimes smell like shiitake mushrooms when it starts to rain ?
I think it's no surprise that it's getting harder to live here compared to the past. There are many people who want to live in Hawaii.

If you want to talk about stench, I used to live in Tokyo, especially in Shibuya and Toshima wards where people gather, subway (mainly in Chuo ward), and seaside park in Odaiba, etc. ? The smell of sewage came wafting in and it was amazing to walk around. If you know the sewage system of Tokyo, you will understand.

In Hawaii, garbage and stench is only around the big garbage cans, and I can't find any smelly place. … Please don't belong to the community too much.

I'd like to write about a case that happened to me recently.

McCully ・ I live in an apartment in the Moiliili area
For the past 6 months, when it rains a lot at night, homeless people have started leaving excrement under the eaves of my apartment.
This was not the case before Corona. Also, S. King St. is experiencing an increase in the number of homeless people.

I think the situation is different in each area, but I wonder if things have changed in McCully ・ Moiliili through Corona.

There are fewer homeless people, no stench or rabid animals...

It seems that you live in a place where you cannot afford rent with a normal job, and where there are homeless people and ravenous beasts who have lost their reason
If you are exposed to such hardship, it would be better to move to another state or Japan.
I am afraid that your life will not improve even if you tell us about your difficulties here.

I think Hawaii must be a hard place to live unless you can afford it.
Even if you buy your own house, you have to let someone else live in it to earn rental income to pay the mortgage, so some people share their own house
.

The State of Hawaii is
very clear about which areas they are focusing on right now, and
when they remove the homeless from an area they are focusing on, the homeless move to an area
closer to that area.

In Honolulu, my neighborhood is also in a terrible situation: the area under the H1 overpass has completely turned into a homeless village, and sometimes trucks come to clear the homeless people's belongings, but as soon as the trucks leave, it's the same situation again. However, the homeless people in our neighborhood still seem to be physically strong enough to collect their belongings with carts and beg for them, but when we go downtown, homeless people who are injured or disabled and cannot do their business by themselves are sitting on the streets, and there is indeed a bad smell in the city. The stench of the city is definitely in the air.

Also, the gym I go to used to have hired cleaning staff before Corona and they always kept the place clean, but since Corona fired the cleaning staff, it has become very dirty. Since Corona fired the cleaners, the place has become very dirty. Because of the lack of cleanliness, there is a smell of sweat, which is very disappointing. But I think it is the same in Japan that has changed with Corona. Every time I go back to Japan, I feel the deterioration of service due to lack of employment in hotels, restaurants, etc. is notorious.

I don't know why they are so agitated ?
The thumbnail is full of them, I think they are just trying to stop Japanese people who want to come to Hawaii.
I've seen videos of people with dual citizenship coming and going even with the Corona disaster ? ? ?
In fact, my life is easier because my salary and tips are so much higher than before Corona, but
I guess they don't know because they are not working ?.

Hawaii has always been expensive, but before it was more affordable than Japan if you consider the salaries. Now the prices are so high that people can't even afford to pay rent, and the city is getting dirtier and dirtier. I think that if you disrespect the non rich in this way, even you rich people will have a harder and harder time.
Would you rather pay the people who clean up the streets a higher salary, or put up with the smell and filth until the robots do it all for you ??

Thank you to the people who clean the house. Filipino housekeepers are very smart and many of them are renters.

We are well aware that they are very useful as every hotel is short of staff.

Can you survive the unusually fast price increase in Hawaii? I guess only really smart people will survive.

The work of the not-so-rich ! ? You are so over the top. What in the world are you looking at? Please don't write with such assumptions.
As Roy said, many of the people you say
work for people who are not rich
are owners of multiple properties or home-based senior homes
. We are much
less rich people.
If you go around Waipahu, you'll find a lot of people like that.

I don't understand why you think I'm superior just because I wrote that I'm not rich ? I don't understand, do you look down on people who are not rich in your heart ?
I don't think so, but
I know a lot of service and cleaning people. I know service and cleaning people who don't own their own properties, live in shared rooms, or barely make enough money to pay their rent.
I don't know if you want to shut them up, but can you please stop making up imaginary people ?.

Sorry for the sidebar.

I'm not a fictitious person. There is a lot of disparity among locals and Filipinos just as there is a lot of disparity among Japanese. Ask the housekeepers in the major hotels. Many of them are homeowners and renters.

They are saving money wisely by doing 2jobs from when they are young so that they can be rich in their old age.

People who can only think of now will not be able to live on their pensions alone in their old age and will probably return to Japan or move to the US mainland.

That is the current situation in Hawaii.

I can't believe that in a free talk forum there are people who say that you don't have to live in Hawaii if you say things like that...there are so many people with bad character

I understand what you are saying Rocco
. There are many places in Oahu that are full of homeless people and smells in some places.
With the current cost of living in Hawaii, it's hard to make a living with a normal job

If you live in Hawaii and don't know this, you must have bad eyesight ?
. ?
There are many unsafe places in Hawaii, do you live in those places and don't you know it ?
Those who don't know and are attacking Rocco, please go around Oahu by car or bus and see many places.

I know how you feel ? about Hawaii
If you are very rich, you won't mind the rising prices, but unfortunately I am a commoner too.

Town, especially around Waikiki, is already a zombie town
What will really happen to Hawaii ??

I don't know how you came to live in Hawaii, but if your salary is not enough, it is because you are not good enough. If the company needs you, they will pay you accordingly. You can't work 50 hours a week for minimum wage. If you can do that, more people will want to live in Hawaii.
People who live in Hawaii without hardship have had a good job and hardships.

"Before Corona, there were so many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and bus stops around Waikiki, but now I never see them "

I have lived in Waikiki for over 10 years, "and now I never see them< " This is a mistake ! You should not make false and misleading statements !

It is true that the number of homeless people seems to have decreased since Corona started, but I work in Waikiki from afternoon to night, so I walk to work and to my apartment. I usually get home from work around 10:00 p.m. ! During the daylight hours, I see homeless people begging for money near the Cheesecake Factory ! And there is a small lawn at the bus stop where the Princess Kaiulani statue is located. ! There are also homeless people sleeping around the bus stops ! I bet you never walk around Waikiki at night, so you don't see any homeless people

There are many of them ! along the Ala Wai Canal and around Waikiki Health. There was a big incident this year at a 7-Eleven in Waikiki. There are homeless people living in tents near the bus stop 😭 😱 and behind the police station in Waikiki... I think it's because there are toilets and showers available there ! I walk to work and back every day, so I might know better than you 🤣

By the way, I was surprised to see a homeless woman doing her business on the street in the daytime around the Waikiki Health Center 🤦 🤦 I've seen this before. I think these people are beyond embarrassing
I think they are the cause of the stench.
