After observing a new law that is recently adopted in Portland, Oregon, Mayor Peter Carlisle by signing a bill that try to remove tents and other large objects that block city sidewalks in Honolulu during daytime. However, it may take up to a year for police to enforce the law actually. It is necessary to make a low for it because the city needs to define clearly the pedestrian use zones. Police officers also need to enforce the law to those homeless people who store their personal items on the sidewalk.
This new law will be executed a block-by-block, and it based on priority, such as those with most complaints or some areas that were heavily used by pedestrians, according to government’s city estimates, it will clean about 25 blocks in the first year costing about $244,000. Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi, who introduced the bill, said she doesn't think enforcement is an issue, nor that markings need to be on every block.
I think that the government should have a considered and integrated plan for the homeless, not just banish them from one place to another.
