Waikiki and the rest of us
-
5/5/2007
In Waikiki there are many police officers and major crime is at a minimum. Unfortunately petty crime is everywhere else largely due to the meth problem in this area. Prostitution is readily visible on busy corners of Waikiki as early as 10pm and homeless are omnipresent throughout Honolulu. The urban myth is that other states buy one way plane tickets to Hawaii for their gutter punks and destitute. The truth seems to be that it is relatively easy to survive on the fringes here without the danger of cold, extreme heat and the ample supply of disposable tourist possessions.
