| Old Folks Home in Waikiki |
At this point in time, there is absolutely no parking stalls available at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Thus, is accepted, the move to the facility will require renting an expensive parking stall, most likely at the Waikiki Banyan Hotel.
One of the main objectives for the move to Waikiki is the final divestiture of the Nissan® Quest minivan. Turns out that divestiture is not often easy. However, the incentive (i.e., paying for a parking stall) is there. So, the only obstacle is the foolish spell of the “ownership society.” Renting an automobile for the weekly visit to Hawai’i Kai may be costly, but that makes more sense than keeping the minivan.
Moving to the “old folks home” in Waikiki will also require yet another change in itinerary and daily routine. The key to success will be a gradual transition over a period of two or three months. Then, back to the same ol’ shit.
Addendum: The application for the "old folks home" in Waikiki has been rejected because of the minimum income stipulation. However, recertification for the “old folks home" in Makiki has been completed. Same property management firm. Essentially the same rent. WTF?
Update: The resident manager at the “old folks home” in Lower Makiki has intervened to countermand the previous stupidity. The application for the Waikiki “old folks home” is now moving forward with a tentative approval. A viewing is being arranged to confirm whether the new accommodations will be feasible or not.
Game Over! Apparently no parking stalls are available at the “old folks home” in Waikiki. So, the application process has been mummified. Monthly public parking is available at the Waikiki Banyan, but $220 is “over the top.” During the time of ownership of the detestable “condotel,” the monthly parking fee was only $100 or so.
