The final push to clear out the Kakaako homeless camp, located just steps from the Pacific Ocean and not far from Waikiki, began Friday amid a chaotic scene of people trying to gather their belongings before they were taken away by officials. Cheyenne Suka, who ran a shop from his tent in the encampment, waited in a wheelchair to go to a shelter near the site of his kidney dialysis treatment facility. City officials estimated that about 100 homeless people were affected by the two-day sweep that began Thursday. Outreach workers canvassed the encampment before the sweeps began to inform people living there that buses would take them to shelters. Concerned business owners and residents have been pushing to clear the encampments, saying they are a nuisance to tourists and a public safety hazard.
