Japanese real estate mogul Genshiro Kawamoto handed over three of his multimillion-dollar homes in Oahu's priciest neighborhood to homeless and low income native Hawaiian families. Some neighbors are unhappy with his plan because he's trying to drive down real estate values so he can buy even more homes.

Actually, if you are talking about the story that was on CNN a few days ago, they are not staying there for free. During the interview with a (Japenese???) real estate mogul, he is renting the houses for $150/month to familes he picked from shelters (he said he tried to pick families with a lot of children). I think that he is setting a wonderful example of what people with more money than they know what to do with should do, and that is help there fellow human beings without giving them a "free ride". These families still have the responsibility of paying rent, but won't have to worry about a safe place to live with their children (roaches, unsafe houses, etc), and maybe it will give them incentive to do something to live better in the long run. Many people are poor stay poor because they don't know how to get out of that rut. I just hope and pray that he chose families that WANT a way out. GOD BLESS this man for thinking of others with less than him!!!

House to the State Capitol, Honolulu may be the vibrant epicentre of Hawaii and a town worth visit, like you will see with hotelbye . In Honolulu you will find every thing from historic landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and lifestyle scene. Home to many Oahu's populace, the expansive city of Honolulu advances through the entire south-eastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world famous Waikiki. Pearl Harbor is certainly one of Honolulu's biggest tourist attractions. Though it is house to the Navy's Pacific Fleet, guests can have a visit to see the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri.

Yeah, I heard about this too. Nice move on the part of that multi-millionaire. He opened up something like eight of his homes to those less fortunate to live in. And I was just starting to think that the rich only believed the world revolved just around them ...

Its dumb. He isnt even giving them to them, he is just letting them stay there rent free. They still have to pay utilities. Which, if these peopel were living in shelters, they werent even paying that, so how are they going to now?
