Are these structures really going to be built?<p>

I just think it's so wonderful if this were to happen! I just made 20 on february 11 2010. I'm a mother to a 2 year old daughter, her father Joe and I has been together from the 7th grade. I go to school full time. My dream was to become an architect, but I am majoring in nursing, because I think it's more stable. Joe has been working at the kahala shell gas station for 6 months. It's the only job he could find after getting laid off from construction. I havent been able to get a part time job anywhere...<p>

We lived in a transitional shelter for the past year and a half. One of the requirements to live there was to sigh up for 'housing". I was hoping that when housing called they would tell me that I got Palolo or somewhere on the windward side.<p>

But no, they called and I got accepted to KPT! Prior to actually moving in.. I was terrified of moving there. My tutu and my mother lived there in the 70's and I heard horrible stories! tutu also drove buses there to pick up some kids to go church. and billions more stories, from people around the island.<p>

I had 8 months left at the transitional shelter, it a 2 year lease. but when housing calls you have to take the first offer or you get kicked out anyways and they drop you to the bottom of the housing list.<p>

i cried and cried to my worker about just placing us somewhere else, but all she said was "we cant do nothing!" and we had to move.<p>

it was a horrible move to make. but joe and i just kept thinking, "it's better then actually being homeless" at least kaipo'i, our daughter has a roof over her head, a shower with hot water to shower in and all that good stuff, even though it's so dirty, outside the apartment.<p>

I think there needs to be classes for all the micronesians or the people that just moved to hawaii, because if these new buidings are built they are going to keep the same dirty lifesyles and eventually the new kpt is going to look just the same as the old one! and i really wouldnt want that to happen!

the elevators dont work. a security person has to be in there 247 to press the buttons for all the people in the building. we live on the 8th floor, so when we want the elevator to get us we have to yell "8th floor" through the doors. it takes 10- 15 for the elevator to get us. joe works 7 am and i start school at 745 am. we need to leave EXTRA early because of that, after worrying about the elevator, we need to deal with the traffic all the way to kahala. the stairways smell like doo doo and shi shi! it looks like noone cleans anything when there should be workers cleaning 5 days a week. it's just crazy in kpt. <p>

Joe and I would be at ease to have a nice apartment to come home to. we are a young couple but we are trying hard to get somewhere and it would be really nice to be blessed with a place like in the drawings.
