Also bigger vehicles not a good idea as we couldn’t park one of our vehicles here at all due to height. We know for next time to get a smaller ..."

Need repair. Needs a master plan. Needs to have roads repaved, and buildings remolded. Needs better signs, and more law enforcement. Needs to address the homeless population, these women and men need care. They need mental health services.

A bit loud for my taste. It needs to be remodeled and rebuilt. Too many old buildings and "brown fields" too many homeless who need care.

3/5 - Okay

I’m saddened that every time I come over to Honolulu it seems more & more run down. There are many poor areas and homeless people that should have better options. I hope that post Covid19 we learn to really care for one another.
