Honolulu has the largest per capita homeless probably in the US. At least that’s their impression. I have been following their attempts to deal with these people (who are often given a one way ticket to Hawaii from the mainland by their relatives etc.) The homeless particularly love Waikiki because of all the tourists from the mainland. For example, there was an incident of a tourist walking along the street with a slice of pizza he just bought. A homeless attacked him and ate his slice. When the homeless person was arrested and asked why he did it, the answer was: “The tourist was fat enough already, he didn’t need it.”(Star Advertiser)
