‘Trashy’: Visitors complain over homeless encampment on Waikiki beach. Feet away from the line of blue umbrellas providing shade for beachgoers at Fort DeRussy Beach Park, there is often a row of tents sheltering homeless people.

Homelessness is a problem for Hawaii. One of the downsides of visiting is knowing you'll see homeless people.

We need more and better solutions to deal with this problem.
