MILLION DOLLAR IDEA---Hawaii has a homelessness problem and so do other places. Whenever I come here and think about the waste of a space this is, I think about what it can be instead. Think about it, people pay to store their crap. Nothing against anyone, its their money and their crap, but is it really that important to pay to store crap?
I tease my sister sometimes about it since she has nothing but "crap" in her storage and just wasting money for her habit of hoarding and storing. You may say one persons trash is another persons treasure, but I dont think this applys in this situation. Who the heck stores 5 Christmas Trees, bags of unopened mail, and other worthless "stuff" I wont mention, and PAYS monthly for it? Apparently a lot of people do.
I mean I'd understand better if you're storing stuff that increase in value, but in this situation, its a lose money the longer you cant find the time to just get rid of the crap. The good news is my sister slaves me to lug her crap up and down here enough times for me to have the time to think about my million dollar idea about this place which is:
Why can't the government or some other entity just buy up this place and transform it into homeless shelter instead. I mean it could work couldnt it? The storage rooms are spacious and durable enough for beds, cooking would be only done outside, and people pay what $50-$300 a month for storing useless stuff that sometimes end up for auction anyways? Small modifications would be needed for running water but the structures and rooms are already in place. Government should grant the money for this and solve the homeless crisis asap.
Anyways before I get carried away with this, back to the review lol. The service here has always been nice but getting in and out building and the working the elevator can be hassle. Theres only 3 of those dolly cart things too, so if theres none and you got a lot of shiz, you are sol or have to wait or tuff it out and bear hug everything to where you need to go. The floors are cool in temp but I dont like the auto sensor lights that shut off, I had to run back and forth to trigger them back on while I was loading and unloading things into the storage.
Now I am no hoarder, but I am a prepper. (Did not go crazy like most these people during this pandemic) I already had a lot of things stocked before hand and some things like toilet paper, I dont even bother stocking more than I need. I only have one big bin of "stuff" I try to stock and restock if needed yearly. Some of the things I have in my bin are:
1) First Aid Supplies
2) MREs-I kinda dig the spaghetti one yo lol
3) Wipes- I find these the smarter choice vs bulkier/sol if they get wet TP
4) Batteries
5) Solar LEDs and Glowsticks
6) Coffee Filters-Not for coffee, Multi Purpose use
7) Lighters
8) Socks
9) Bug Out Bag (Grab and Go supplies/resources when shiz hits the fan)
10) Bucket of Marbles with Slingshot from 5th grade: (For Zombie Apoc)
I mean I dont need a storage room for just that do I? Are these Storage Facilities really the best use of space on the island for storing crap or can they benefit mankind better by being upgraded into the next level. I dont have the resources to take on that kind of immense task or project but maybe others finds it more useful than I, or maybe someone has a better million dollar idea "stored." read more
