| Hale Kūola Acrylic on linen 11x14 (Kūola means Alive and safe, as after escaping from danger) |
There were a lot of un-homed people living here. In the past they were all crowded around the public bathroom and the atmosphere then was sad and hostile. Visitors were uncomfortable and the campers were clearly unhappy. Then this last time when I visited this beach that I remember from my childhood, they had moved all their tents across the road and under the tree with shade and a nice ocean spot. The same people were friendly and open. They were not in any way inhibiting visitor use of the beach. 30 feet made all the difference. I hope they are allowed to stay, and that we might learn something as a society. I am sure the problems associated with homelessness did not go away, but I am equally sure that they became less awful for both visitors to the beach and those who had no where else to go. Just a thought.
