    Not surprised to find anyone in any empty homes; hotels; office; bridges; beaches; mountains...anywhere! What to do, what to do? Sad sad situation we are in.

      Nationwide, mainland or not. Greed is the driving force behind the homelessness. Rentals being sold; bought up by foreign investors and banks, flipping and selling - removing affordable places to rent. Will only get worse. Society digressing quickly.

    It is so sad to see this hotel in such a state. I stayed here as a kid back in the early 80's on a school field trip. It was my first time being away from my folks on Oahu.

    OMG, that's Uncle Billy's hotel now?!? So fμckin’ sad! I used to stay there in the 1980s and 1990s and have so many good memories of that place!

    Finally they clear the crack house. I heard it’s getting demolished for new construction

    That place is an embarrassment. It should've been torn down years ago.

    Everyone so far is sad that their childhood hotel is abandoned but no one talks about it still being there? smh

    The fact that they entered in darkness, unannounced the way they did felt wrong and dangerous.

    With guns drawn? And at night? Two questionable calls! Wouldve been much easier in daylight and u never EVER as a law enforcement officer walk thru a situation like this leading with drawn guns.

    WOW! Uncle Billy's Hotel? Anyway, it's not that many people and they just needed a place to stay

    Shouldn't the police officers be saying " This is the police!!!" I stead they have their guns drawn ready to shoot some homeless person. What happen to police using riot shields instead. Seems very unnecessary to have guns drawn!!! If their that scared then they shouldn't be a police officer. Maybe the training isn't right??? Whatever, I think drawing guns should absolutely be the last resort.
