Homeless people down at the Moiliili baseball field and Old Stadium Park were frustrated this morning as city workers confiscated their belongings 24 hours after giving notice of their intent to do just that.

Civil Beat spoke with a handful of homeless residents. Some were confused by the law, and sad about its application. They said they didn’t know where they’d go, or what they’d do.

The city enforced the law against basketball hoops in Mililani 10 days ago, but this is really the first time the rubber is hitting the road in a meaningful way.

Full story coming soon on Civil Beat.
