Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi returns to our studios on Ask the Mayor, this week talking about the past year's progress and the work still to be done. He also discusses the city's efforts to combat homelessness, including the recent 22% drop in unsheltered homelessness, and the importance of providing affordable housing options like the Ho'oiki and Kalihi Palama projects...looking to create mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhoods with access to public transportation, employment opportunities, and community services.  Your phone calls take priority too...and the mayor fields all that come in this week.
