My wife and Keiki are visiting from SF, being born and raised in San Francisco Chinatown I thought it would be fun to show them around Honolulu Chinatown which I’ve read has an great history. Sad to say that Chinatown is worse than our tenderloin district in homeless and garbage and graffiti. I thought bringing them to the park at A’ala would make up for it but sadly, there were three or four homeless sleeping under the play structure and that is most sad. I did not get any pictures but they are there and I’m sure they sleep there everyday. When a neighborhood loses even their childrens playground you’ve lost it all. I feel sorry for you guys and wish you guys luck. We would never be coming back.
