Introduce yourself!
Thousands of people live, work, own businesses or owns property in Mōʻiliʻili. However, we do not have very many opportunities to know our neighbors better. Mōʻiliʻili Matters can help us to better know who our neighbors are. Posting photos and participating in discussions help make our community more neighborly.

I am open and willing to make presentations to any interested groups that want to learn more about Mōʻiliʻilli Matters. I am more than happy to explain the various features of the site and discuss how individuals and entities can use it to their benefit.

Mōʻiliʻili Matters also has many practical applications for people, organizations, and other entities in the Mōʻiliʻili neighborhood. The features available to individual "neighbors" on Moiliili Matters allow us the opportunity to connect with other residents as well as create groups and organize.

Vanishing the Homeless - A Real Solution or Just an Illusion?

Posted on January 11, 2012 at 9:21pm 0 Comments

Driving down King Street now is so much nicer without the presence of tents lining King Street.  The homeless people who lived there for months to more-than-a-year have all vanished.  They're all gone - like magic.  

We know however that this cannot be true.  Our homeless issue is way more complex than that.  

I've missed going to Stadium Park.  Although I'm sure the park is more welcoming in appearance now, I can't help but wonder what the next step is.  The…

mahalo for the invitation. i really enjoyed the affair, derek! and i wanted to let alyssa know (we had a short conversation about my kids before the gov spoke) that my youngest daughter is also an "alyssa" :)
 
but, i think neil did the best he could with his answer to our question. he reflected his inexperience with the issue of iwi kupuna, however. he gave the politically correct response: "let the law be the law and i will enforce the laws", to paraphrase.


but what i did hear in the mix was his willingness to keep all doors open to the host culture in this matter. he wants to use the local bubureaucratic structure already in place to work. i guess that sounds logical. didn't he say something to the effect that he wanted even more community input?
 
but from the way he espoused the virtues of TMT, i think informs how he ranks, so to speak, of the cultural relevance vs. "progress", economic and/or otherwise. 
 
 
ps.
anae (sp?) is gorgeous! congratulations again, pops.

Derek:  We had a great time at the social, and it was goodto see the community out again. The governor gave some pretty good answers to the questions asked, I really look forward to see the rest of his responses.

The cleanup went very well. We had 52 plus volunteers sign in and several more who I know didn't. Varsity Street, and Kalo Pl look so much better now, and everyone who came seemed to have a great time.

I was e-mailed a link regarding the Mōʻiliʻili Matters website and clean-up by the Honors Department at UHM. I have walked around parts of Mōʻiliʻili and noticed that it needs some attention. Being a "mainlander," I feel compelled to do all I can to respect the beautiful city of Honolulu.

Great. I didn't know about that. I would like to get some work there done. Let me know how I can access it.
