Outrageous Rents
If you haven’t seen it yet, read the 1st sentence of the 3rd paragraph.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) expands U.S. defense production capacity, authorizes $1.8 billion for barracks and family housing, and expands access to education and childcare for military families.
Then they come to Hawai’i to splatter eggs 🥚 on our faces, feces 💩on our aina, make promises they don’t follow thru with.
Do me and us Hawai’i taxpayers a favor, keep them and their families in barracks and on base where they belong NOT in our communities. Use the barracks for their intended and stated use. Hawaii residents can’t pay rent with ( 1 ) check, afford babysitters while the military can use Hawai’i as their playground.
May not impose a restriction on certain fields of occupation. If you are re-enlisting and making a medical job a career in Hawai’i then you must permanently stay and enter the profession after your enlistment ends!! Period
