I went on a surf trip to Oahu back in the late 80s and I remember seeing all the homeless people. Here in Florida we get many more homeless people in the Winter as the cold drives them south. Then when summer rolls around they head back north again in a transient nature.
So I'm in Hawaii looking at all homeless thinking to myself, how the hell did these bums get to Hawaii when I had to work two full summers to save up enough for my surf trip  |
They were born there and kicked out of their places to live because the land
owners could make more money by renting the property to people who saved
up for two summers to visit.
Most homeless people are employed, just not enough hours or consistently enough
to pay high rent.
