I feel bad for and totally sympathize with these small businesses' signboards being treated differently from realtors.
Politicans in office, homeless on the rise, crime on the rise, veterans need help, cost of living, high taxes, Lahaina need help, solve the big problems, and stop worrying about the signs.
You are talking about what the politicians need to be worrying about right? Not the business..
Yes politicans all in office who can't solve the problems.
More evidence of favoritism towards the cronies in the real estate game ruining the islands
Why make so much hassle with signs its been there for along time why grumble now.
Isn't illegal only if it's blocking the sidewalk, handicap access, or if something is. offensive? But otherwise leave the signs.
I love those chalkboard signs. They're artwork. Leave them alone. They should ban those political signs with the crook politicians. If those crook politicians can have signs, then businesses should have the right for chalkboard signs.
UnReal
An outdated ordinance should be corrected not enforced. What's the goal more sidewalk room for ladies of the evening ? Wow did they make a complaint or the homeless ? The more small businesses close less tax revenues and less appealing to tourists . The economy is not healthy since pandemic. Hard to recover and they do not need state obstacles.
How can this be legal? And what about churches? They have their signs out all the time. I was told it was only supposed to be the day of the service. Then was told the day before the service. Now many of them leave them out all the time. BE fair!
Their food looks good! I hope they are able to get something working out soon 🙏🏽
Bunch of bs, politicans in office Bunch of hypocrites
Have a sign guy holding it or wearing it walking around the area
exactly who is the one "karen" guy that took the signs down?
Das why hard/lucky live Hawaii.
Hire the homeless to wear signs! Problem solved.
its a liability especially if they attack or defecate on a passerby.
I think the reason many are homeless are because they can't hold a job for whatever reason. What if they use the sign as a weapon? Or run away with the sign? Do you really think the homeless would make good employees?
But will that avoid the Waikiki loiter laws? Like when your car breaks down on the side of the road so you slap a FOR SALE sign on to prevent a ticket and get towed? Jk that's an old idea that's just bad for business
have as guy walking around with one in him lol
Big corps restaurant only hawaii.. lets go
Those signs have looked horrible for the past years. Thankfully, the eyesore signs are gone. They really made the area slum like. I feel for the businesses that leased space where there is no foot traffic. i also understand they made that business decision. Tough spot. Maybe get a dancing shrimp or dancing hotdog out front?
You can always pick the unsympathetic asshole of the group. You win that prize. Be a human ass wipe
I bet you’re against development for more housing too. 🤡
U prolly rather have a drugged out homeless sleeping on the sidewalk than these signs that help out these businesses
@manateemilk1 stick to the topic. Most portable signs are eyesore. Political signs and realtor signs included. More housing would be great, but this video is about signs.
The buck stops at Blangiardi
BLAME THE WAIKIKI BOARD.
It’s funny they don’t implement the no bikini law of the island but the signage are
They aren’t just for tourists they help locals too. Ridiculous they do things to make it tougher for businesses. It’s like they have zero sense.
Just have a homeless say the sign belongs to them.
Stop killing business in Honolulu. This is a heavily tourist dependent city. It will backfire. You may modify but don’t kill the ads
Replace & vote out those politicians who are anti business advertising their signs.
What about handing out flyers, another politicians decision? Guess they now must hire wimpy, with their signs advertising! Politician's unfair practice at their best.
It’s all about the money people! Look at who’s lobbying for these type of laws and follow the money trail. Hint: it’s the REAL reason why they’re going after TikTok..
The city legal team is a freaking clown car.
Honolulu does not care about small businesses!
Take down all political signs 🪧
Hey City/State officials, get the homeless of the SIDEWALKS! Why bother with the small fish? We're becoming like Haiti,Yemen,Russia and Mexico.
Keep the signs up...what's the big deal
