Gov. Josh Green address the Legislature, then a month later asks to increase his budget spending by $2.5 billion. But homeowners on fixed income complain about not being able to afford new property tax increases.
How about helping kupuna so they don’t become homeless or are forced to move to the mainland to be able to live on their fixed incomes? It would be interesting to find out how many of the homeless are people who were born in Hawaii and not people who came here because of our climate and government help.
Elected governors get free housing. What happens to their existing homes? Are they being rented out? Maybe we could use them for the housing shortage. I know this sounds pretty harsh, but just trying to help everybody equally in Hawaii.
