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?

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 think you all are being too aggressive with Rocco who posted this ?
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.

Mr. Rocco, you say outlandishly that "residents who lack food and clothing are in the state of being ravenous beasts because their reason has collapsed"
I think you are just being smoked out.
I have never encountered such a beast in my own neighborhood.

#42 Waikiki

"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.

Question

I would like to know if anyone is familiar with the bill banning short-term vacation rentals on Oahu.
First of all, the definition of vacation rental is renting out one's property to tourists, etc. to earn income.
If I rent out my property to an acquaintance ( or friend of a friend ) instead of a tourist, would that still be a violation of the rule? ?
Also, I sometimes see people renting out single family homes in upscale residential areas such as Kahala and Hawaii Kai, etc. How can I legally operate a vacation rental in such areas? What are the specific requirements to legally operate a vacation rental in such residential areas ??

# Dear Waikiki
Thank you for your detailed explanation. This is the most troublesome thing that can be excused by exchanging cash for so much as lending it to an acquaintance. Keeping in mind that it may not make sense, I will consider reporting it if it is too annoying. Very helpful.
I hope that people like Mr. Waikiki, who follow the rules and operate the site honestly, will not be harmed.
Thank you very much for your answer.

It's better to do it than not. Good luck.

If you have a noise or drug problem, it is more effective to call 311. When I have reported noise problems and bulky trash, I have been treated well.

Aloha Topix
I understand the complications and your feelings.
The law itself is also complicated, and there are likely to be more changes in the future, such as the minimum 90-day rental ( since last October, where this very Bill 41) was blocked for the time being. The current mayor is cheering for a tough crackdown on illegal vaqueros, but the topic itself has a variety of voices. As mentioned above, I think the most reliable information is to contact DPP.
https://www.honolulu.gov/dpp/permitting/short-term-rentals.html
It's not always the case that because it's in Waikiki, it's ok to buy a vaquero, so the best precaution is to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into before you buy. I think the best way to prevent problems is to do your homework on the property before you buy it.

#Maria Price RA
Thank you again for your comments.
It is a very difficult issue.
I'm sure there are many people who are confused by the enforcement of laws that were not in place when they purchased the property to do vaqueros, and on the other hand, it is not very welcoming for residents to have strangers swapping in and out of a residential area. I will keep an eye on the future fluctuations, taking into account the advice I have received. Thank you both so much for your detailed explanations.

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare. I googled to see if there is such a thing and found some information that it is a Scam ( Scam ) and some information that if you join a certain insurance company, they will offer it to you. If you know, could you please give me the correct information?

So, it depends on your personal needs, so you should talk to your agent (e.g., you want good dental benefits, you want food delivery, you want some of the Medicare fees to be covered, etc.) and choose the plan that best suits your needs.

There doesn't seem to be any screening criteria for getting benefits as a senior
You have to apply for Medicare from the insurance company that has the benefit to get it.

Thank you !
I didn't know there was a Japanese site. It is easy to understand. Other companies specify size, umbrella type only, etc., but it looks like the only stipulation is weight. If you have any other experience or recommendations for strollers, I would appreciate your advice. The child I will be going with will be about a year and a half old.

I buy macadamias chocolate and coffee for people I know.
I can't buy them in large quantities because of the recent price increase.

I buy small bags of individually wrapped macadamia nut chocolates at Sam's club or Costco in bulk and give them as a small omiyage when I have a sudden meeting with someone I was not planning to meet after arriving in Japan. I also buy Hawaiian patterned goody bags at Long's, Donki, etc. and put them in them. My parents also ask me to give them as gifts to neighbors. However, once the rainy season is over, the chocolates melt in no time due to the intense heat in Japan, so it is best to give them before the rainy season is over, when it is cooler.
