      I'm a huge fan of your channel. This Maui trip makes me sad. I live in the Boston area, but like to vacation in Hawaii. I prefer Waikiki Beach, but then I've visited Maui a few times and never saw this much poverty/homelessness. I visited before the tragic fires in Lahaina.

      I lay this problem on state and county governments, not the federal government. Basic shelter is a HUMAN RIGHT, and local jurisdictions need to raise enough tax money to get the homeless off the streets and provide safe housing.
      I am a free market person and not a socialist. But for a free market to survive, the basic human needs of a society need to be met. Otherwise, you're just going to invite an eventual revolution.

    I live in a bigger city and a doctor and his wife bought a huge piece of land. Their idea was to build tiny homes on it for the homeless. They would rotate others through as folks moved. The city stopped all plans because they couldn’t get enough tax money off of it. They put roadblocks at every turn. The doctor finally gave up and is selling the land. Now we are back to encampments that look like this. It’s a shame!

    The pig in the enclosure is one of the ways these Hawaiians are creating fertile land, using the pig's feces to fertilize the very pen where it lives. After a period, the walls are taken down, erected somewhere near; this way, in time you cam create fertile land to plant fruit trees and other Hawaiian ffod trees to provide organic food for themselves. The smell of these pig pens, leftover food, fed to the piga, is their organic/natural way to create fertile ground to sustain them.

    I talk to homeless in Hawaii daily. They’re out during the day. There are many reasons why:
    They might have a job, but it’s also prime time to collect cans, beg, or sell drugs.
    It’s when they can eat or shop.
    It’s hot and they like to find shade.
    This group sounds like they work well together, but they often steal from one another. You don’t want people to know where your stuff is. Sometimes people follow you at night, too.
