With the beach behind him, Tony Williams hangs his laundry between two palm trees in Waikiki, Monday, July 12, 2010 in Honolulu. Homelessness increased 15 percent on Oahu since last year according to a recent report. A growing number of homeless are not from Hawaii but make the most of their situation by taking advantage of inviting beaches and support services. State lawmakers are struggling with the visible problem of homelessness in tourist areas and some have proposed a contentious idea to use state money to fly the homeless back to wherever they came from. William, originally from Long Beach, CA, took advantage of a similar program in New York City that flew him to Hawaii after he had a friend here pose as family to take him in. Williams stated 'if you are going to be homeless anywhere, its good to be here.' (AP Photo/Marco Garcia)AP - Every morning, Tony Williams wakes to the sound of waves crashing on Hawaii's famed Waikiki beaches and has a spectacular view of the Pacific. But he's not paying a cent for his priceless vista.
