Ever since a ban went into effect preventing sitting and lying on sidewalks in Waikiki, store-owners in Downtown Honolulu have been complaining that has been a significant increase in the number of homeless people loitering on their sidewalks. It also appears that the arrival of homeless people from outside the neighborhood have increase the number of fights and altercations between the homeless, which is driving customers away. The Honolulu City Council has stated that they would like to expand the sit-lie ban in other areas around the state including Downtown Honolulu and Chinatown, but Mayor Kirk Caldwell added that he will wait to hear from city attorneys before signing it into law.
