I've traveled to Waikiki/Honolulu for the past 17 years and it's never been this bad with the hotels in Waikiki.
Imagine this for a moment: You have prostitutes everywhere at night, LOUD motorcycles (Harley's everywhere), fights breaking out in the streets, and the Honolulu police turn their heads and grin.
You would think I'm joking, but I'm not. I asked one police officer why they won't do anything and he said,'Hey this is Waikiki, no?' and he laughed.
In the meantime, I parked near the Sheraton (because who wants to pay $25 a day in parking?) and I received 2 parking tickets - both unjustified and both cost $70. If you park 1 inch to the red zone, you will get a ticket. Then, I get pulled over and I get a $100 ticket for using my speaker cell phone near the Sheraton.
In the meantime, the hookers, the motorcyclists, and all the gangster teens continue to harass all the tourists with impunity and the Honolulu police shrug their shoulders while giggling over my tickets. I ended up screaming at my precious wife over these morons.
I would consider leaving Honolulu at all costs. Boycott this island and vote for another mayor and vote in new reps.

motorcycles are LOUD, the cops do stop fights, they can't be everywhere ALL the time

In the meantime, I parked near the Sheraton (because who wants to pay $25 a day in parking?) 25 bucks would have saved you a bundle. it is also a safe place to park
and I received 2 parking tickets - both unjustified and both cost $70. If you park 1 inch to the red zone, you will get a ticket. one inch into a red zone is justified, you deserve the ticket. Then, I get pulled over and I get a $100 ticket for using my speaker cell phone near the Sheraton. if the law requires you to use a hands free cell phone and you didn't you deserve the ticket
In the meantime, the hookers, the motorcyclists, and all the gangster teens continue to harass all the tourists with impunity and the Honolulu police shrug their shoulders while giggling over my tickets. I ended up screaming at my precious wife over these morons. so you have a temper and take it out on your wife. get a grip

no reason to boycott an island because you want to park anywhere you want cheaply. our cops do a great job, hookers and unruly teenagers are in every city
Speakerphone cell usage isn't "hands-free". Obviously, you were holding the phone in your hand, right?
I would have ticketed you as well if I was a cop.
Shrug your shoulders, say 'ho-hum' and watch the world disintegrate.
Who cares about off-shore drilling; who cares about fraudulent loan applications; who cares about the recession; who cares we can't find a cure for cancer; who cares about anything, right?
The Honolulu police DO NOT do a good job - they are the worst police department in the nation.
