Homeless should keep things clean
Homeless should keep things clean
Walking by the homeless camp near the Rice St, Kaumualii Highway, and Kuhio Highway intersection, is very uncomfortable due to the large amount of festering trash piled loose in the woods and right next to the sidewalk.
A top priority in addition to finding affordable housing and jobs for the homeless is cleaning up the trash and leaving enough trash barrels that can be picked up by the city of Lihue or county at least once a week. This is the only decent thing to do for the people living in the camp and for the businesses in the adjacent business complex.
Two things are wrong with leaving trash scattered everywhere in the camp and woods.
One is the possibility of a disease outbreak from lack of proper sanitation.
Two is customers who might want to walk by the sidewalk by the camp to get to the adjacent businesses will avoid going there altogether so as not to be exposed to these potential disease conditions from accumulated rotting garbage.
Please officials, clean out all the garbage and then as soon as possible find better homes for the homeless.
Will M. Davis, Lihue
