Homeless sweep spanning over a mile to shut down Oahu beach park

“It’s kind of like an eyesore because you see all the tents sent up,” said a West Oahu Fisherman.

I'd like free beach front property and pay no taxes, too.

[@user-ke9yk5qp3u]

Same kind of crap going on here in California. These beautiful places are for the entire community to enjoy. Not for just a few entitled homeless people to make a mess of the entire place and make it uncomfortable for us to use. Enough of this BS.

Beachfront property for the homeless on a gorgeous beach.

When this happened on our beach in Santa Barbara, I wrote a sarcastic letter to all our city counsel membert and mayor saying how I thought the tarps and tents added a nice European flair to our beach, and that since camping on the beach is now ok, I was having an architect draw up plans for a house on stilts that I was planning on putting up down there with a nice view of the harbor and wharf. Those people were rounded up and driven off the beach within A WEEK!

Can you imagine the amount of human waste on that beach now thanks to these people

[@Khevynn979]

How about they actually enforce the laws. The beach is closed from 10pm to 5am. Why do we turn a blind eye. They shouldn't be there in the first place.

As a west Oahu resident, I have witnessed sweeps and then the next day the people are back. A week sweep is nothing. Doing these sweeps won't solve anything. They will likely move down to Maili Beach which is another beautiful stretch that is slowly being over run by the homeless.

On a public beach, anything you can't pick up and move within a couple of minutes should be considered litter. Litter should be dealt with accordingly.

ARE U KIDDING, THEY WILL BE A MILE DOWN THE BEACH, FROM WHERE THEY ARE NOW, THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE, AND A WEEK LATER THEY WILL BE BACK!!!!

[@philvie]

Without constant sweeps they'll just come back, Venice Beach in California was taken over with tents and was cleaned up only for the homeless coming back, the city was ready for that and they do sweeps at least once a week, they finally got control of the problem but if they stop it will revert right back to how it was

Restore the people not the place….give us hope again

[@lisal4824]

It’s like musical chairs. Take a spot away and everyone moves to the next one. Until there is a long term place for homeless to stay they will just keep shifting from beach to beach or park to park.

Most are on drugs and dont want the help,,, Hawaii is a dump these days,,, 😮😮😮

[@mikegoodie7905]

I haven't been to Hawaii in 20 years. It was a homeless shithole back then, I can't imagine how bad it's gotten.

[@elypevets5633]

How about turning off the water fountains? They can't drink salt water

[@farristolesome4419]

You voted for it ( Big Blue ) 😂

[@frankblangeard8865]

Some of these campers may be renting out their houses to tourists. When I lived on Oahu that was a common practice.

Pretty ballsy setting up solar

[@larryg.9187]

Make laws like, No Overnight Camping, No Camping, No Drugs, No Alcohol, No Trash, No, No, No...etc.
