~~Overdevelopment of Oahu is a travesty
Why push to make Oahu like Hong Kong? We've enjoyed a very special way of life here that has quickly eroded. The policy of banks, construction unions and politicians is to keep building up our island with virtually no sense of future planning. Yes, jobs are important, but literally every construction job is a temporary one. One project ends and another one begins until you have what we have now. In virtually every segment of Oahu, you'll hear complaints of overcrowding.
