Regarding the new security cameras in Waikiki: Yes, I realize there has been a lot of crime recently, but there has been a lot of crime in the Downtown and Chinatown areas as well (“New crime-fighting plan rolled out for Waikiki,” Star-Advertiser, Feb. 28).

Why can’t we get new cameras or at least get the ones that we do have working and have them monitored just like the one at the Waikiki Police Station?

Things are getting things torn down so the homeless don’t occupy concrete slabs. How about taking care of that in Downtown as well, like the concrete circular bench on Fort Street, or next to the Hawaii Theatre, where the homeless sit and lie all day.

Please provide us town people some relief.
