I've heard it's getting worse, but I'm not sure how it really is ?
Is it dangerous to walk to work or walk during the day while wearing earphones ?
I think I live in the Waikiki, McCully, Ala Moana, Makiki area.

Honolulu's security is getting worse.
If you go back and watch Hawaii News, you will see what I mean.
There was a car burglary at a condo near Ala Moana.
There was a break-in in Waikiki.
A woman walking near Ala Moana was sprayed with
sulfuric acid by a man just out of jail and is in critical condition.

I'm sure there are many more.
If anyone has additional information, please share it.

I've seen it on Google Maps, but there's too much street parking and it looks like it would be easy to vandalize cars.
The news of sulfuric acid has been circulating in Japan. That is scary. I didn't know about the break-in, so I will look into it. Thanks.
There are news, but I haven't heard of any actual incidents, so I guess it's not so different from Japan.
I think it would be better to have some self-defense goods.

I think the chances of hearing bad news have increased in general.

McCully ・ I live in Moiliili and the atmosphere has definitely gotten worse.
First of all, unfortunately, the number of homeless people has increased.
There are quite a few tents standing on the sidewalks on King Street.
The weather was bad this winter, but some people left their excrement under the roofs of their apartments when the rain was bad. I also feel that the morals of the residents have gone down.
As for my apartment and the neighborhood, I feel like there are more people making noise and more people with terrible garbage disposal practices.
I think the rent is lower than other places, so there may be an inevitable increase in such people. I don't think it is necessary to be constantly on the alert for being attacked while walking around during the day, but it is good to be aware of your surroundings. At night, I would probably avoid walking as much as possible, or at least bike although I actually drive .

I live in Kaimuki and work in the Moili'i area.

I don't know if Topi is a woman or a man, but if she is a woman, she cannot walk alone after dark.
I used to walk my dog around my house after dark, but now there are many strange people in Kaimuki and it is dangerous.
I think Waikiki is the only place where you can walk alone at night ?

Even during the day, you should not walk while wearing earphones. There have been many incidents of people approaching from behind with mopeds and taking bags.


I have heard some news, but I have not heard of any actual incidents so I guess it is not so different from Japan.

Hawaii is a tourist destination, so only a few things make the news in Japan, but if you live here, there are always stories of coworkers being snatched while walking or having their cars stolen. If you have a job that requires you to go home at night and take the bus to work, Waikiki is a good choice.

Waikiki is also not the safest place to be since there was a shooting during the day
but with that many police, you may feel a little safer.

Even though it is Hawaii, it is America, so walking is not recommended.
It is better to travel by car. If you wear anti-theft protection, it will not be stolen.

I am a middle-aged man with a good build. But if someone hit me in the head from behind with a baseball bat, I'd probably lose a fight.
If I am ambushed on my way to work on foot, it would be the end.
In Hawaii, I'm like a low-income earner, so I'll give up the car and take a bicycle or bus.

It would be better to carry some kind of tear gas.
But how can you commit a crime on a small island where you can easily find the culprit?

Rather than a worsening of security, there have always been places that have been unsafe.
I think it has expanded from there.

It seems that Waikiki has recovered to some extent, but I still think that
it is still in the process of recovery.

Please be mindful of crime prevention and defense.

I have never been attacked in Hawaii, but when I lived in CA
I was attacked by a gang once.

I handled it calmly and it was not serious.

It is still better to avoid going to unsafe places at night.
I try not to go out at night, but if I have to,
I try to go to places where there are lights and lots of people
and so on.

I am still
haunted by the trauma of being attacked by a gang. Even during the day, I get scared
when people walk behind me. In that case, I let the person walking ahead of me.

I don't feel comfortable when people are behind me, even on buses.

I have lived in Waikiki for 30 years

Now and then, there is no cut and dry comparison.
The only thing I can say is that since the start of Corona in 2020, it has been the worst security situation.

The quality of homeless people is not what it used to be.
There used to be homeless people who didn't do any harm, but now there are many bad ones, some of them are flirting with us, and some of them are shouting early in the morning. Perhaps the number of drug addicts is increasing.

Also, theft and assault cases are increasing, so I think that each individual should observe their surroundings and be careful.
I would like to enjoy my time in Hawaii because it is a paradise by nature, but I have to accept it because the environment has already changed in Corona.
Unfortunately.

I guess any person has to survive and live through.

Nice to meet you.
That was a really scary experience for you. I'm glad your life was saved.
I think Hawaii might still be safer than California.

However, I noticed a white male, small, fat, in his 30s, living in Waikiki, who plays with Japanese women
Please be careful with Le**.
I date a different Japanese woman every week and every month.
It's good for women who want to play with you. For women who are seriously looking for marriage, it's a waste of time.
They tell Hawaii residents that long distance relationships are not possible, but they lie to tourists living in Japan that long distance relationships are possible
. I hope they realize this as soon as possible.

Well, I was attacked in Santa Ana, CA. I was very careful, but at that time,
I was walking on a different street and I was attacked.

I think Waikiki is a little bit worse than it was 11 years ago when I moved here,
but it is still safe. But still, Waikiki is a safe place to live.

Be careful when paying with coins. Never take out a coin and
ask the clerk for it ! !. They say they are not tourists and have only
been in the U.S. a short time.

I rarely use cash anymore. Only when I need it.

I think it's a good idea to be careful about security in your life.

And I don't want you to suffer from trauma.

# 12 Eco.

I was told by the state sheriff that the gang was of Mexican descent.
Two or three months later, I received a letter of judgment from the criminal court.
There, the principal was sentenced to 13 months in prison, and one to the same. However,
one of them had a father who was a lawyer, and he denied it,
and the final sentence was 13 months in prison based on circumstantial evidence.

The state of CA paid all my medical bills
at that time. The Victim Relief Assistance Program paid for everything
I received.

I don't drive myself now, but I do
lock when I get in a friend's car.

Compared to the past, I don't mind
if someone is walking behind me, but I still
remember the situation, so I get scared at the drop of a hat.

On February 29, I saw three horrible tourists.

They were doing something that I don't care how much it costs.

They got on the bus, I guess they paid
in Cash, but they came to my seat with
Cash in a bag and a cell phone in their hands, which made me
scream.

He had it in his bag, proudly.

These people are great targets.

I have cash, which I proudly put in my bag.
They have cell phones. Unprotected.

In what world do people
show off their cash? I thought
that they wouldn't do it in Japan.

Japanese tourists are Targeted because
they are too defenseless.

Hawaii's security, certainly
better than the mainland U.S., but, but, unprotected is
absolutely, absolutely not good.

Don't count CASH on the bus.

Don't show off your cash.

Never show off your cell phone.

If you are robbed,
no one can help you.

#14 Mr. T
You were of Mexican descent. What a criminal trial. I am glad you were arrested. I think buses are less safe than cars in Hawaii.
Homeless people will also ride them.

Can you live without driving a car in Hawaii ?
If you only use Uber or cab a few times a month, it might be cheaper than maintaining a car.
I can't imagine living without a car if you need one every day to get to work.

Rushi * * was such a bad man !
if he was accused of rape he would be fired.

I used to live in Waikiki before Corona.
I'm thinking about going back to Waikiki, but
I'm thinking about it because the rent is going up.

At the same time, I was wondering how the security is.
I lived on the east side of Waikiki,
sometimes homeless people took the bus,
I often got off the bus because I couldn't stand the smell on the way

would the Kakaako area be better?
I'm more concerned about homeless people than public safety.

# Mr. 19.

What you are saying is that people who ride the bus are dirty ?
That is prejudice.

There are many people here in Honolulu
who cannot afford a car and take the bus to work and school. Is that an insult to them? ?

I myself use the bus. There are so many things to do with cars, like parking, etc., that I
think the bus is the way to go ? for now.

I can't tolerate the insult to those people who have various reasons.
You are discriminating against bus riders? ?

There are no reported cases of Covid infection on buses. Buses are ventilated thoroughly.

If you can get infected on a bus, you can get it on a plane, a boat, or a train
too.

As for the security in Honolulu, I think it is better now than during the
pandemic because people are coming back to Honolulu.

If you are talking about homeless people, if you live in a residential area, ?
if you live in the city, they are there. But if you live in a residential area,
if there are homeless people, they won't go there
because it's so noticeable.

I recommend Hawaii Kai, Palolo Valley, Pacific Hights, etc.
If you don't mind Oahu, I recommend
moving to another island.

If you are talking about buses, I recommend
moving to another island.

Honolulu has a lot of bus riders.
Kauai is good because there are many places where you can't live without a car
.

The security is better on the other islands.

Kauai is safer than Honolulu
I lived there for 3 years
There are fewer people and traffic jams
but compared to Honolulu,
that's nothing.

Jack,

There are all kinds of homeless people and I think they have the right to ride the bus as long as they are not intentionally bothering others and are paying their fare.
I live in an area where many homeless people walk past my house every day. Since my home is a house, I am bothered by their strange noises and fights, and their things are stolen and broken on a daily basis.
But they have a right to live, too.

I am also a homeowner and still have quite a bit left on my mortgage, but I think what you are saying is not about homeownership, but
I am angry at your attitude and interpretation of that.

We have a 22 year old son who uses the bus regularly and he wants to reduce some of the environmental pollution.
For him, even if his shoes and clothes get a little dirty, or if the smell emitted by the homeless is a little stronger, that's nothing compared to how dirty the earth is and how climate change is progressing. Not only him, there are more than a few people around me who dare to use the bus with that kind of thinking. You may not be able to imagine, but everyone has different reasons for using the bus. If you treat people around you with more compassion, I am sure that more good things will happen around you, Jack.

I am offended by the idea that all the people on the bus are unhygienic and you don't want to invite them into your home

I'm just saying
stop insulting the people riding the bus.

There are a lot of people
who are homeowners and still use the bus.

You are just a small minded person with no compassion.

You write that you have a problem with bus drivers letting homeless people on the bus, but
you can't refuse them ? the person to whom the driver himself can say don't get on or get off at his own discretion is drinking,
or someone with a bottle of alcohol, or someone who is making noise or fighting or acting up with anyone And so on. I can't tell them not to get on just because they are homeless.
The driver doesn't have the authority to refuse you a ride just because he doesn't like you.

Mr. Jack, what everyone is upset about is your Itsukpou-like judgment and over-the-top attitude. I'll list them here in bullet points since you don't seem to have noticed them.
1. It is the driver's fault for letting a homeless person on the bus
The State of Hawaii, by US law, discriminates on the basis of race, equality in all things
and public transportation allows people to ride the bus except those who would harm them. Drivers cannot refuse you because you are homeless.
I personally sympathize with some ex-servicemen who have become homeless because of the trauma of past wars.
2. You can't ask a bus rider not to come to your house or
not to sit on the bus.
Maybe it's time to publicly tell bus riders who visit your house that you are afraid of Non welcome Coronas.
Jack, it is your home, your castle, so please make yourself comfortable and stress free.
3. When you become a home owner, you will understand.
It doesn't matter if you are a homeowner or a renter, there is only a difference between Mortgage and Rent 。
I am a homeowner too, but I have friends who gave up their own cars and come to visit me by bus. I am so thankful to them for coming by bus and I make them a cup of cold barley tea with all my heart. Corona is airborne and not yet 100% understood. We cannot say that you are infected on the bus. You can get it in spas, spas, schools, workplaces, everywhere.
I can understand why you are getting angry at the offensive remarks you have been making lately.
